(Previous Incident Code: S871)

Three adult brothers died and at least one was injured in an alleged Coalition airstrike between the area of the two bridges in Raqqa, according to local media.

Multiple sources named two brothers as killed in the Coalition raid while Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently named an additional third victim.

A joint Amnesty and Airwars’s report from April 2019 “War in Raqqa: Rhetoric versus Reality” reports the death of the three brothers after speaking to eyewitnesses on the ground. Samia, sister to the killed brothers, told Amnesty’s researchers that the strike hit around 6 am, killing Mohannad and Mohammed as they were still asleep. Samia said that the third victim, Sami, was with their mother, who sustained very serious injuries all over her head and body.

It should, however, be noted that sources, besides from Amnesty/Airwars’ research reported different surnames for the three brothers.

Sharqiya Voice reported that “Mohamed Omar Hamdan and his brother Mohannad Omar Hamdan” were killed, and published a photo depicting the same two brothers that Amnesty and Airwars reported.

Moreover, Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently reported the death of a “Sami Mohammed “Al Haj Hassan” and published the same photo of Sami as Amnesty’s researchers.

Because of the field research made by Amnesty’s researchers, the Amnesty/Airwars’ reported names are the ones that will be used.
