Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S005)
An alleged early morning coalition airstrike hit a small plastics factory on the Old Bridge Road in Ar Raqqah, the headquarters town of Islamic State in Syria. The strike reportedly killed the factory site’s young night watchman (or alternatively the owner).
In what may be a separate incident in the city, the Syrian Martyrs website (citing VDC) reported the death of a 21 year old man as a result of a coalition airstrike on Ar Raqqah” on September 28th. He was described as originally coming from Aleppo.
In July 2017 the Coalition said it had classed the event as Non Credible based on a lack of available evidence: “Sep. 28, 2014, near Raqqah, Syria, via Airwars report: After a review of available information and strike video it was assessed that there is insufficient evidence to find that civilians were harmed in this strike.”
Given the available evidence, Airwars continues to list this event as fair.
