Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S138)
Three civilian men were reported killed when their vehicle was struck in a Coalition airstrike, according to reports.
This incident is presently single source only with VDC naming the three men.
In its July 2017 monthly report, the Coalition classed the event as non credible on grounds of proximity: “Oct. 31, 2015, near Al Hawl, Syria, via Airwars report: After a review of available information it was assessed that no Coalition strikes were conducted in the geographic area that correspond to the report of civilian casualties.”
However, given that the Coalition has confirmed airstrikes in the vicinity on October 30th-31st, Airwars is seeking additional clarification from the Coalition.
