Airwars Assessment
(Previous Incident Code: S193a)
In an incident not previously tracked by Airwars, the Coalition later confirmed the deaths of two civilians near as Shadadi.
Their December 2016 civilian casualty report noted: “During a strike on seven ISIL fighters in a moving vehicle, it was assessed that two civilians were inadvertently killed. One civilian passenger in the vehicle was killed and one civilian riding a motorcycle was killed when he came into proximity of the ISIL vehicle after the munition was released.”
CNN Arabic reported a strike on an ISIL vehicle at the time, though made no mention of civilian casualties.
In July 2019 the Coalition provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.
