Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: I302a)
In an incident previously unknown to Airwars, the Coalition later confirmed the death of one civilian near Mosul.
Their February 2017 civilian casualty report noted “During a strike on ISIL fighters firing a mortar on partnered forces it is assessed that one civilian was unintentionally killed.”
The incident appears to refer to an event at al Noor neighbourhood, which was captured by Iraqi security forces shortly afterwards. According to a local eyewitness who spoke with Airwars, Coalition strikes damaged nine civilian houses during the attack near the Aesha Mosque. One man who was killed had been identified by name.
In July 2019, the Coalition provided Airwars with coordinates for the event, accurate to within a 100 metre box.
