Airwars assessment
At least five civilians, including three children and a woman, were killed and six others, including two children, were injured in alleged Russian airstrikes on a home for displaced people in Ma’aret Misrin on November 11, 2021.
According to the Syrian Civil Defense, five civilians, including three children and a woman, were killed and 6 others, most of them from one family, were wounded in Russian strikes on a poultry farm where displaced people were living. They specify that the victims were “a man, his wife, his children and his nephew” and included images of a woman they identify as 69 year old Saada, who lost her son and grandchildren in the bombing.
Syrian Network for Human Rights provided the names of the children killed: Marwah, Asaad, and Hasan Yahya Khader. Their parents were also killed in the strikes. However, according to Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, only two of the children are siblings and the other child is their cousin. The family was identified as being displaced from al-Yarmoug village.
A Facebook post from Al Karma Camp identified the names and ages of all of the people killed: Yehia Khader – 21 years old, Sidra – his wife, 20 years, Asaad Khader two years, Marwa Khader one year, Hassan 8 years old
@SAMS_Arabic reported that two children with injuries were taken to Idlib Central Hospital for treatment.The medical staff provided first aid, including “dressing wounds, stopping bleeding, and fixing fractures” inspite of the fact that the facilities have been facing the challenge of treating COVID patients as well.
Shaam News identified children among the wounded and pointed out that the air raids struck buildings housing displaced people from the village of Al-Barqum who live in the farm and farmhouse as shelter. Step News Agency also referred to the area affected as being the Al-Masroor area in the vicinity of Ma’aret Misrin.
Volunteer “Mulham Sawan”, one of the Syrian Civil Defense respondents to the massacre, said of one of the child victims of the strikes that “when I held him in my hands, he was like a little angel, I was trying not to see his eyes, I was afraid of his looks asking me why this happened, I started thinking about his father, mother and brother who were also victims of the massacre.”
The consensus among sources was that Russian forces were responsible for the airstrikes. Step News Agency pointed out that Russian planes continued to fly over the area even as the White Helmets were sorting through the rubble for the victims of the strikes. A tweet from @MasarPressNet also identified vacuum missiles as being used in the bombing.
The incident occured in the morning.
The victims were named as:
