Airwars assessment

A single source – the local Facebook group of the Jarjria tribe – said that a son of the family of Muhammad Daham Murad al-Jarjari from the village of Jasa was killed in an airstrike on Yarmouk neighbourhood in West Mosul.

It was unclear from the report who carried out the strike. In its June casualty report the Coalition denied responsibility: “April 9, 2017, near Mosul, Iraq via social media: After a review of available information it was assessed that no Coalition strikes were conducted in the geographic area that correspond to the report of civilian casualties.”

A Coalition official confirmed to Airwars that this related to the Yarmouk allegation.

The local time of the incident is unknown.

One woman died in an alleged Assad regime or Coalition airstrike on the cultural centre in al Basira, local media reported.

Multiple sources – blaming the US-led Coalition – identified the female victim. However, RFS News blamed regime aircraft, while others like Syrian PC did not identify the perpetrator.

According to Deirezzor24, she died as a result of “shrapnel from her father’s house”. It said that she was “the wife of Ahmed Ghazi Al-Ghleian” and that “Nuri al-Mukhtar was also slightly injured”.

Other sources reported that the cultural centre was nearly destroyed in the strike – and that several other civilians were wounded.

In a third event reported in Al Mayadin on June 26th, one female civilian was killed in an alleged Coalition airstrike, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Observatory reported: “The SOHR also observed airstrikes, most likely carried out by the International Coalition warplanes, that targeted one of the headquarters of Suqur Al-Sahara Brigade affiliated with ISIS at 2 am today, causing the death of a woman who resided in a house in the vicinity of their headquarter in Al-Mayadein city in the eastern countryside of Deir El-Zour.”

In August 2019, the Coalition announced that it had assessed this allegation of civilian harm to be non-credible.
