Airwars assessment
A civilian may have been killed and another wounded in an alleged Israeli strike in the town of Bani Suhaila on May 14, 2021.
Reporting about strikes on Bani Suhaila seem to indicate that two separate locations were struck with missiles. Sources mostly either reported the death of a civilian and the injury of another as a result of a group of people being targeted in the area or reported a house being hit but did not mention any casualties. @aeinnews reported the strike hit agricultural land but also did not mention casualties. There was no information on the identity of the reported victims.
It is possible that the sources reporting the civilian harm are referring to an incident recorded in entry ISPT054. In this a man reportedly from Bani Suhaila was killed and another injured in a strike that targeted a group of people. Those sources report it in a slightly different place, Absan Alkubra, but this lies very close to Bani Suhaila. We have included a range in the civilian casualty estimate to reflect this possibility.
Sources either reported the use of airstrikes, rockets, missiles or shells.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
