Airwars Assessment
Last Updated: December 15, 2024
(Previous Incident Code: S1489)
According to the Step News Agency, “The International Air Force bombed the towns of Abu Hammam, Hajin and Alshakiya in the eastern countryside and no damage was reported.”
However, Al Haal and Qasioun said that SDF artillery strikes wounded a number of civilians.
Airwars understands that the SDF does not have access to artillery, therefore this appears likely to be a Coalition action, whether the result of air or artillery action.
