Five civilians were reported killed in Coalition strikes, including a woman and child. The US later admitted to two deaths in the attack, noting: “Manbij, Syria, during a strike against an ISIL target, it is assessed that two civilians were killed.”

As Shaam News reported, “activists stressed that Syria democratic forces and elements of the military council of the city of Manbij took control of the Shari’ya building and arrived at the National Hospital west of the city, after a violent attack from rocket and artillery bombardments on positions controlled by ISIL. SDF achieved this progress thanks to the shelling, and air cover and logistical support provided by the United States since the start of the battle over a month ago. There’s information about the death of civilians caused in bombing by Coalition fighter jets today.”

The local Manbij Documentation Agency named the victims: “the family of Hussein al Alloush from Jarablos were killed. Three young men, a girl and a woman.”

In July 2019, the Coalition provided Airwars with the location for this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.
