Two civilians died in an alleged Coalition airstrike on Al Jadida village, according to local sources.

According to Halab Today, “The school of Al-Jadida village in the southern countryside of Aleppo was destroyed due to warplane shelling”. The source didn’t identify the warplanes responsible.

Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently – which blamed the Coalition – named two victims. Q_ALenzy and Spm-Syria also named the victims, attributing their deaths to the Coalition.

In February 2019, the Coalition assessed this event to be non-credible. Their report noted the following: “After review of all available strike records it was determined that more likely than not civilian casualties did not occur as a result of a Coalition strike.”
