Airwars assessment
Eighteen civilians were killed in heavy airstrikes on Talbiseh, all from the Aloush and Swais families. Nine children were among the dead following at least three air raids. Graphic footage shows bombs being dropped in the centre of the town, followed by desperate rescue operations.
Opinion was divided on whether the attacks were by Russian or Assad regime aircraft. However, footage of an aircraft dropping bombs on the town that day appears to show an Su-22, an aircraft type not used by Russia in Syria at the time of the incident.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
- Abdul Kareem al-Daher al-Zuair Adult male killed
- Nour Ziad al-Dhaik Adult female killed
- Shaaban Jnaid al-Khalaf Adult male killed
- Kamal Qasem Erfan Adult male killed
