One man, named as Omar al-Kafri, was killed in an alleged US-led Coalition strike in Raqqa, local sources said.
It was reported by Raqqa r_w_b that Omar al-Kafri was struck nearby “the house of his family, beside the Al Hadika Al Bayda while distributing water from the well he had dug with his neighbours”.
All sources tracked held the US-led Coalition responsible for this civilian casualty incident.
The Daraa Martyrs Documentation Center later also reported the death of Mohammed Abdul Rahim Al-Kafri from Daraa-Al-Mutaiya who was “killed after he was hit by an air raid of the International Alliance on the city of Raqqa in the province of Raqqa on 20.8.2017”.
On March 20th, RBSS reported the exhumation of Mohammad al Kafri and Hassan al Tadmuri. RBSS stated that the two men that were pulled from under the rubble were killed in a Coalition strike “on a water well in the area of al Hadika al Baidaa”. It is important to note that the report detailed that the airstrike had taken place on August 16th. However, Airwars researchers have assessed that the incident is more likely to be related to the August 19th airstrike – all known public allegations mention the same precise location and Mohammad al Kafri shares the same surname with the aforementioned victim.
