Airwars assessment
Five named civilians died in an alleged ‘Coalition’ airstrike on al Dashisha market in Tal al Jayer town east of al Shadadi on the Syrian/Iraqi border, according to local sources.
JisiT V, which pointed towards the Coalition, reported that a commercial shop was hit.
No Coalition strike was publicly reported in the area that day despite its being the only party blamed. However unilateral US strikes in Syria are not declared – which is what this may have been.
The victims were named by Al Hassaka Youth Union, Soheb_alheskyi and Hasakah News – all blaming the Coalition.
The Coalition itself later denied conducting strikes in the geographic area that day which corresponded to claims of civilian harm.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
- Hussein al Mohammad al A’kla Age unknown male killed
- Abd al-Lateef Mosa al-Kamel Age unknown male killed
- Ahmad Bassam al-Amouri Age unknown male killed
