A man and his two young children were killed in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes on Al Bara town in the Jabal al Zaweya area in Idlib on May 29th, according to local sources. The wife of the victim died of her injuries sustained in the attack on June 2nd.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights wrote that “the sibling children Aya and Adam Marwan Al Yahya were killed along with their father as Syrian regime forces helicopters dropped barrel bombs on Al Bara village in Jabal al Zawiya area in Idlib governorate southern suburbs, on May 29.”

The Syrian Human Rights Committee also identified the victims as Marwan Al Yahya and his daughter Aya Marwan Al Yahya and son Adam Marwan Al Yahya. Bilal Lata, however, reported that the child Adam Al Yahya “remained after his parents, his brother Mustafa and his sister Aya were martyred”. Hence, remains unclear if the second killed child was Adam or Mustafa Al Yahya. Step News, however, reported that a father and three children were killed.

On June 2nd, the Facebook page Men’s from Al Bara reported that Marwan Al Yahya’s wife Ghofran Al Qirbi had passed away of her injuries sustained in the strikes. The Syrian Human Rights Committee and @DeryNews also reported the death of the woman.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that other members of the family were wounded. Halab Today reported the injury of an unknown number of civilians. According to Syrian Mosaic, two civilian houses were completely destroyed. According to the Syrian Civil Defence, in addition to three fatalities, two others were injured when civilians and a school were targeted with explosive barrels by helicopter raids at dawn.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the incident occurred after midnight, while HalabTodayTV put the time of the incident around dawn.

Sources blamed both Russia and the Syrian regime for the airstrikes.

The incident occured between 1:00 am and 7:00 am local time.

Up to four civilians, including up to two children and one woman, were killed following alleged Assad or Russian-waged aerial shelling and/or missile attacks of Mdyra, eastern Ghouta, Damascus, local media reported.

According to local reports, the incident in Mdyra was one out of many that day in eastern Ghouta. According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), this was the “most bloody day in Syria in the latest few weeks” referring to the bombardments of eastern Ghouta.

Local reports mentioned between two and four fatalities. Both Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SN4HR) reported “at least” four victims, including one or two children and one woman.

None of the sources mentioned whether if the incident wounded any civilians.

While most reports referred to aerial shelling, Masrawy News reported about both “air and missile attacks” in eastern Ghouta on February 6th, why it is possible that ground-launched weaponry also caused the civilian harm.

Finally, it remains unclear who is to blame. Even though most sources identified the Syrian regime as responsible, including SOHR and SN4HR, Russian culpability cannot be excluded as LCCSY pointed to both “Russian and Assad raids”.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Between three and four civilians were killed in alleged Russian airstrikes on Hraytan, according to local sources.

According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, three victims including a child died when “suspected Russian warplanes” fired missiles on Hraytan.

Shaam News Network published a distressing video showing “the reaction of a mother who finds her son’s remains” – but did not say whether the Assad regime or Russia were responsible for the attack, stating only that “the aim of publishing the video is not to shock the viewer but to document the crimes of Assad’s forces and his Russian allies.”

However, the video was linked by the Violations Documentation Center, who blamed Russia. Other footage published by The City of Hraytan showed the aftermath of alleged Russian raids.

The Syrian Press Center reported that Russian planes launched raids on “Baghdad Street” in Hraytan, killing three, and wounding “many,” including women and children.

Three victims were named by the Violations Documentation Center.

The Damascus Center for Human Rights Studies also listed three victims; two of them are Ahmad Othman Hamedia and Ibraheem Othman Hamedia. The other is named as Samir Ahmed Hamdaoui [who may be the same as Ahmad Othman Hamedi.]
