Airwars assessment

Five members of one family including three children were killed in a reported 1.30am Coalition strike on the Syria-Iraq border, according to two sources.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights noted the following: “Suspected US-led coalition warplanes carried out several raids after midnight on places around Aysha hospital and other places around the city of al- Bokamal to the east of Deir Ezzor, leading to the death of a man, his wife and one of their children, while others were wounded.”

The Syrian Network published a later investigation, citing an eyewitness it named as Mr. Alaa: “I woke up at the sound of an explosion at about 1:30 a.m…. I went to the building’s roof to see what happened, and I was able to estimate the shelling location. It was near the cement factory and I heard the people’s screams. I went directly to the shelling location and saw great destruction. One of the rockets fell in the middle of a road next to a 2 story building, while the other fell in the middle of that house. Blood and body parts were scattered on the walls and on the road. The victims were transported to the hospital and I tried to enter it too but ISIL’s members prohibited us due to the fear of another airstrike. I heard that 5 individuals from Hasso family were killed in the shelling.”

In its civilian casualty report for October 2019 – published on December 5th of that year, the Coalition assessed this event as ‘not credible, asserting: “July 30, 2015, in Abu Kamal, Syria, via Airwars report. After a review of all available records it was assessed that no Coalition actions were conducted in the geographical area that corresponds to the report of civilian casualties. 2807/CS108 37SFU752155”.

Officials published a location for the event to within 100 metres of where they had remotely assessed the incident.

The incident occured at 01:30:00 local time.

Activists confirmed that the bombing resulted in the deaths of three senior leaders of the organization, one of Iraqi nationality, as well as wounding more than ten others. Daash sites confirmed the news of the raid and resulting deaths.”

Between three and five civilians including up two women and two men (from one family, according to some sources) were reportedly killed in an alleged Russian or Assad regime airstrike on Deir Ezzor.

According to Euphrates Post, “Russian warplane raids targeted al Takaya street, andal Ardi and the al Hamidiya neighbourhoods, which led to the complete collapse of two homes near the children’s hospital. There is new about a massacre of civilians”.

The Syrian Press Center reported: “a massive air campaign was launched on Monday [Jan 23rd] in the city of Deir al-Zour under the control of the state organization, which led to the death and injury of civilians.

“Activists said that the Russian air force conducted several air raids in the cemetery area, Al-Takaya Street, Al-Aridi and Al-Hamidiya in Deir Al-Zour, causing extensive destruction in residential buildings amid news of martyrs and wounded in Hamidiya.”

Sharqiya__voice  5 and JIsrtv noted that five people from one family died in Al Takaya street – though these sources didn’t identify the culprit.

Most reports attributed this event to Russia, though the Syrian Network for Human Rights – said that regime warplanes had killed “three civilians, including a woman”.

Up to five men were killed in alleged Russian aerial shelling of Lataminah, local media said, though it was unclear whether the victims were a part of the armed opposition or civilians.

Several reports, such as HalabTodayTV and @AleppoAMC, reported that the airstrikes “killed and wounded civilians.”

However, Step News Agency reported that the strikes killed “four military personnel” in addition to another seven wounded.

It is unclear whether the reports talk about the same victims, or whether both civilians and militants were killed in the incident.

Until confirmed otherwise, the five named victims will be treated as civilians.

Between two and seven more civilians were reportedly left wounded.
