Airwars assessment

On August 5th 2023, between three and four civilian children were injured during shelling allegedly carried out by the Syrian regime and/or Russian forces on a residential neighborhood in the city of Jisr al-Shughur, Syria. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a few days later that one of the children had died from their wounds.

The Syrian Civil Defense (@SyriaCivilDefe) reported that the four children from the same family had suffered “fractures and bruising” when a wall collapsed outside their home following shelling. Syria TV added that one of the injuries was “a case of suffocation due to inhalation of rubble and shelling dust.” The Syrian Civil Defence posted images on the X website, formerly Twitter, of their teams inspecting the aftermath of the shelling and providing medical treatment to a child named Haitham Sarhan Dandash, who is five years old.

@Omar_Madaniah provided the names of three of the children injured: Haitham Sarhan Dandash, five years old, injured, male; Salam Sarham Dandash, five years old, injured, male; Kawkab Sarhan Dandash, fourteen years old, injured female.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on August 10th, five days after the incident, that one of the children later died of her wounds.

Our-Syria news identified the location of the shelling as being close to Al-Turkman Mosque in Jisr al-Shughur.

Sources were conflicted as to who was responsible for the shelling, with the Syrian Civil Defense blaming both the Syrian regime and Russian forces while the majority of sources attributed the shelling to the Syrian regime. Syria TV specified that the shelling came from Syrian regime forces stationed in Jourin camp.

The incident occured in the evening.

Airwars assessment

A missile strike killed at least five members of the same family, including three women, and wounded at least one more — all civilians — in Kafr Nouran, Aleppo after midnight on October 5, 2023. The strike was allegedly carried out by the Syrian regime and/or Russian military.

Zahraa Ali Karhou, an elderly crippled mother, was among the dead, along with four of her children. Her two adult daughters, Khadija Mustafa Tanna and Fatoum Mustafa Tanna, and two young sons, Faraj Mustafa Tanna and Ahmad Mustafa Tanna, were all killed in the strike, and another female sibling was injured.

The victims were an internally displaced family staying in a residential home, according to Syrian Civil Defense. The building was struck by missiles around 2 a.m., Al Quds reported, after which rescue teams transported the dead to a hospital, along with the wounded woman. Images posted by Al Quds also showed the funeral and burial of the victims.

Syrian Civil Defense reported five dead and one wounded, while Abu Obada Hamoe Post said the number of dead has risen to six, with “a number wounded.” A tweet from @creativenewssy provided a lower death count of two and identified three “serious” injuries.

Two anti-armor thermal rockets were used in the strike, according to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, who attributed the attack to the Syrian Regime. Others, including Khalil Al Yaseen Post, suggested Russian forces were responsible.

“Stunned, he does not know what happened, and how it happened,” @SyrianCivilDefe wrote on Twitter, describing a young surviving family member standing in front of the bodies. “One thing this child knows, he has known death and oppression since he was born…” Other images posted by the @SyrianCivilDefe show family members mourning over the bodies of those killed.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

According to SN4HR, Russian actions reportedly killed eight or more civilians – including four children, most from one family – in a further series of strikes as part of the Kremlin’s first day of military action in Syria.

VDC placed the toll at 11 civilian deaths, with its local contact reporting: “Russian warplanes, likely Sukhoi jets, targeted the southern entrance to Rastan city at about 11:30 am, destroying a simple house for civilians of the al-Taweel family, causing the death of six civilians and injuring several others, although the area had no military significance.”

An anonymous local doctor added that “five others passed away after succumbing to their wounds, bringing the death toll up to 11 civilians.”

VDC named 6 of the victims.

According to the Syrian state-run news agency SANA, Russian warplanes targeted a number of “ISIS dens” in Homs, though locals insisted there was no Daesh presence at Al rastan. Russian media made no mention of civilian casualties – with TASS referring only to “pinpoint airstrikes” against what were described as ‘ISIS targets.’

The incident occured at 11:30:00 local time.

A wave of night time airstrikes hit a number of civilian objects in the city according to reports, killing seven to eight non-combatants. At least 11 and as many as 40 Daesh militants were also reported killed.

According to the Syrian Observatory, “13 airstrikes targeted places near the Emergency Branch, the Hospitality Palace, Hawd al-Forat building, Balqis School (al- Zakat office), the governorate building, the municipal Stadium, the national hospital and around IS headquarters.” Reuters placed the number of strikes as high as seventeen.
