Airwars assessment

Airstrikes hit Markada and the villages of Al-Dushisha, Rakhsh, Al-Zaynat and Al-Fadghmi, in the south of Al-Hasaka, according to local sources. The US-led Coalition was alleged to have conducted the strikes.

Specific casualty numbers were unknown, however, according to the Al Qaeda-linked group Tahrir Al Sham, which claimed that “the International Alliance launched air raids targeting the towns and villages of Markada, Dishisha, Kachkash, Zaynat and Fadghmi in the southern countryside, leading to the fall of a number of martyrs and wounded civilians.”

Hasaka Rasd also said there were reports of civilian casualties but provided no figures.

The alliance itself publicly declared no strikes in the governorate on this date, and later assessed for the claimed event that “The report contains insufficient information of the time, location and details to assess its credibility.”

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

Up to seven civilians died in an airstrike on al Shmeitiya, according to local media. While most sources didn’t identify the culprit, two reports attributed the event to Russia.

In three sequential reports the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights noted the deaths of between two and four civilians following airstrikes on al Shmeitiya, Deir Ezzor. Initially SOHR reported that three “persons” were killed in the west of Deir Ezzor, though did not specify the location. A second report said four civilians were killed after airstrikes on al Shmeitiya, and the third SOHR report alleged that two men were killed in the town. None of the reports blamed the US-led Coalition or any other actor, referring only to “bombing by warplanes”.

According to the reports a number of other civilians are likely to have been injured, though the number was unknown. Significant material destruction reportedly occurred as a result of the raid.

Sadaalshaam reported that seven civilians died including one woman in a strike by unidentified warplanes. However, Alghad alsouri and Syrian Press Center blamed Russia. The former put the death toll at three.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

The victims were named as:

Owaid al-Hamid al-Saleh

Airwars assessment

A major civilian casualty incident, in which 20-24 civilians died, took place in the center of Abu Kamal city, Deir Ezzor Governorate, according to multiple local sources.

Shaam News claimed “dozens” of civilians were killed or wounded. There was some contention regarding the number of civilians killed, as the raid allegedly targeted a prison of the so-called Islamic State organization, where combatants were also present. The exact number of prisoners killed and wounded was unclear from the sources. However Sdusyria asserted that “all prisoners were martyrs” and Micro News suspected all to be civilians, while attributing the attack to the US-led Coalition.

Baladi News said that a house had been turned into a prison by ISIS, and that the prisoners killed were eight from Deir Ezzor and nine from Iraq.

The Syrian Observatory described the place as the headquarters for “Islamic State” in the city of Abu Kamal, saying that the number of Iraqi detainees killed had risen to ten – whilst others were seriously wounded.

A later report by Euphrates Post listed the detainees killed in the airstrikes.

Two people from Al Mayadeen and 9 Iraqi martyrs whose identity has not been identified.

Albukamalnews documented the death of one man (Saleh al-Sayer al-Marsoumi), from the village of al-Bagouz, they mentioned that “Dahesh requested 50 million to get him out of prison, but the prisoner did not have this amount”

A subsequent report by Euphrates Post listed three additional civilians.

In a later report by Aletihad press, the death toll was put at 20 “including foreign prisoners”, the report said “the organization transferred them to the national hospital in the city and imposed a cordon on the area”. Aletihad along with the majority of sources blamed the US-led Coalition.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Local sources named one woman as killed and her husband and “some members of his family” wounded in an airstrike on a river crossing at al Kharita.

Most sources didn’t identify the culprit. However, according to Sadaa alsham, Russia was to blame for the death of one civilian in al Kharita. The regime captured the crossing on September 17th, meaning that this was highly unlikely to have been a Coalition action.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
