Salahaddin reported that the two civilians had sternum injuries, and included a video of a flaming building, allegedly the home that was bombed. Ben Kanaan reported on the strike and injuries and added “thank God there are no martyrs in the place”, thus indicating that no deaths had occurred as a result of the strike.
