Airwars assessment
Reported Coalition airstrikes at 11 am on the village of Mitras killed three civilians, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights. These were identified as an adult male, a teenager and a child.
This event bears a resemblance to an April 19th incident at the same location (CS063) in that the victims are from the same family. The victims in this incident were the brother and nephew of the victim in incident CS063.
In July 2017 the Coalition classed the event as non credible on grounds of available evidence of civilian harm: “April 26, 2015, near Mitras, 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.”
The incident occured at 11:00 am local time.
The victims were named as:
Family members (2)
- Hassan Ibrahim al Dimmo 40 years old male killed
- Ibrahim Haasan al Dimmo 17 years old male Hassan's son killed
- Amouna al Alewi al Hamadi 6 years old female killed
