At least one civilian was killed with perhaps four or more additional casualties after a Coalition airstike near Al Hana hospital in Abu Kamal, according to local media. While a number of sources didn’t identify the culprit, at least two attributed the incident to the US-led Coalition. In July 2018 the alliance accepted responsibility for unintentionally killing one civilian.

According to RFS, “In the city of Abu Kamal warplanes carried out raids on a number of houses, one of which was aimed at the organization [IS] and is in the vicinity of the hospital in the center of the city. There was news of a number of civilians killed and injured along with members of IS.”

Euprates Post reported that “warplanes launched an air strike at dawn today targeting a building near al-Hana Hospital in the city of Abu Kamal, with reports of civilian casualties”.

Marsad al Hassaka provided some more information, saying that “a displaced family and a civilian young man from Abu Kamal” were killed in a Coalition strike near Al-Hana hospital.

Step also blamed the Coalition for conducting strikes near the hospital, which resulted in an unspecified number of civilian casualties.

In its July 2018 civilian casualty report, the Coalition took responsibility for the event, noting: “September 25, 2017, near Abu Kamal, Syria, via Airwars report. During a strike on Daesh Headquarters one civilian was unintentionally killed.” Officials confirmed that this related to event S1351, and provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

In an incident not previously tracked by Airwars, the Coalition later confirmed the death of one civilian and the injury of another in an event near Al-Thawarah, Tabqah.

Their January 2018 civilian casualty report noted “During a Coalition strike that destroyed an ISIS weapons facility and headquarters reportedly under ISIS control for almost two years, one civilian was unintentionally killed and one was unintentionally injured.”

Officials said the event took place at 37SDV598674 (military coordinates accurate to 100 m), which would place it at the first neighbourhood of Tabaqah.

The incident is one of three so far confirmed in the town that day (See also CS602 and CS603).

The local time of the incident is unknown.

In an incident not previously tracked by Airwars, the Coalition later confirmed the death of one civilian during an attack on ISIS heavy equipment. The location given is in the residential neighbourhood of Ar Rafiqah, in the old city of Raqqa.

Their September 2017 civilian casualty report noted, “During a strike on an ISIS heavy equipment, it was assessed that one civilian was unintentionally killed.”

The Coalition provided Airwars with the location of this incident, accurate to within a 1 metre box.

It is possible that this incident matches an event listed that day in Raqqa (CS1126), however the Coalition are yet to assess that incident and the precise location of it is unknown.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

In an incident not previously tracked by Airwars, CENTCOM later confirmed the death of a civilian in an attack on Manbij.

Their November 2016 civilian casualty report noted: “during a strike against an ISIL artillery firing position, it is assessed that one civilian was killed after entering the target area after the aircraft released its weapon”.

In July 2019 the Coalition provided Airwars with the location for this incident, accurate to within a 100 metre box.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
