سرمين, Sarmin, Idlib, Syria

Airwars assessment

On the morning of Friday, July 14th 2023, at least one civilian, a woman, was injured and a fire broke out in a disused poultry farm when Russian and/or Syrian regime forces allegedly shelled the residential neighborhoods and outskirts of the town of Sarmin, south-east of Idlib, with heavy artillery fire. The injured woman was treated and taken to hospital by the Syrian Civil Defence, the fires were put out and the area secured.

@Najdat567 claimed that the shelling led to several injuries and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that a man and a woman were injured and taken to hospital as a result of the shelling. The Syrian Civil Defence, amongst other sources, claimed that just one woman was injured and that the SCD “made sure that there were no other civilian casualties.”

Baladi News reported that the fire took place in a residential house in Sarmin while the Syrian Civil Defence posted pictures of the fire in the disused poultry farm.

Baladi News also reported that the shelling coincided with the flight of a number of Russian reconnaissance planes, Syrian regime and Iranian forces over the bombed areas.

Idleb Online claimed that the shelling was against militants’ locations and movements along the road between the towns of Sarmin and Nayrab as well as the village of Afes, east of Idlib.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

Brothers Hammad Mahmoud Harara (Abu Mahmoud Harara), Taha Mahmoud Harara, Mohamed Mahmoud Harara, and their cousin Fourat Jamal Harara were killed and an unknown number of others were injured at approximately 17:30 on 08 October 2023. They were killed in their home on Al-Mantar Street in the east of the Al-Shujaiya neighbourhood in east Gaza City as the result of an alleged Israeli airstrike.

Most sources wrote that four civilians were killed in the strike, however the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) Gaza and Al Mezan cited five deaths as a result of the airstrike attributed to Israeli forces. The cousin of those killed, Linda Harara, posted about their death via Facebook and the Harara family identified the three brothers as “sons of the late Hajj Abu Younis Harara”.

Multiple news agencies, including Shehab Agency and Anadolu Agency, reported the alleged Israeli airstrike on the Harara family home. A tweet from @absalem88 gave the location of the Harara family home as Al-Mantar Street to the east of the Al-Shujaiya neighbourhood in east Gaza City and Al Mezan reported that the house was completely destroyed.

Tweets from two accounts wrote that ambulances rushed to the scene to transport the injured, but neither gave an exact number of injured in the incident. Anadolu Agency published that medical sources reported seven people injured as a result of the alleged Israeli airstrike on both the Harara family home and another strike on a house near the Yarmouk Mosque. It is unclear exactly how many of those seven were injured at the Harara home, so the injury range for this assessment has been put at between two and seven.

Airwars has matched all names identified in this assessment with the Palestinian Ministry of Health list released on October 26th.

Due to the scale and urgency of Airwars’ assessment process, all images have been automatically uploaded to each assessment with the graphic filter applied to protect users. We have also included all images identified from the sources, which may also include any imagery of combatants.

The incident occured at approximately 5:30 pm local time.

Airwars assessment

On October 9th, 2023, an alleged Israeli airstrike on a residential house located east of the al-Bureij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip killed a woman, Ola Ziyad Abdel Aziz (also referred to as Ola Abdel Aziz Abdeen), and her four sons – Areej, Muhammad, Adam, and Qais. Only one source, Shehab Agency, also mentioned a number of injuries but provided no further details on the exact number or identity of those wounded.

Most accounts of the deadly bombing come from social media posts by family members, memorializing Ola and her children. Ola’s brother, Amir Ziad, has mourned the death of her sister and his four nephews “with great sadness and grief.” Her cousin Maram Qassem and her uncle Abed Abu Adnan also honoured the memory of Ola and her children in Facebook posts. “With great sadness, I mourn my niece,” the post by Abed Abu Adnan reads. “I can only say: We belong to God and to Him we shall return.” Ola’s friend Mariam Hayati mentioned that her “dear friend and sister” Ola had “passed away””. The age of the victims was not provided by the sources.

The exact time of the strike is unknown, and there is also some ambiguity as to the location of the affected house. The family members refer to the home as “east of Bureij”, while Shehab Agency and Facebook user Khamis Husein said the strike took place in Bureij.

Only one source, Shehab Agency directly attributed the strike to the Israeli military.
