Between one and three civilians, including a woman and up to two children, were killed and two to five other civilians, including up to four children and a woman, were injured in alleged Russian or regime shelling of the village of Iblin on July 15, 2021.

Shaam News reported that shelling “of a residential house in the village of Iblin in Jabal al-Zawiya led to the fall of a child martyr and the injury of two of his brothers”.

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights increased the number of casualties to “three civilians, including a woman and a child” while Syrian Network for Human Rights also identified three civilians as being killed, broken down to two children and a woman. @IdlibPlus added that the three civilians killed were “a woman and her two children”.

A tweet from @zelal_abo_adnan identified the child Hassan Ahmed Juma Al-Khalaf, 12 years, as being killed in the strikes.

@OrientNews added two more names of civilians killed: Khadija Ahmed Khalaf (F) and Dana Alaa Krum (F)

Syrian Civil Defense identified “the injury of 4 other children” and added that “most of the dead and wounded are from one family.” Zaman Al Wasl reported that a “woman and 4 children were injured”.

Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame for the strikes. Syrian Observatory for Human Rights attributed the strikes to the Syrian regime. However, Syrian Network for Human Rights blamed Russian shells “equipped with a Krasnopol laser guidance system”. While Shaam News did not attribute the strike to a responsible party, they identified “the flight of a Russian reconnaissance plane in the air”.
