Airwars assessment
Two civilians died and up to 10 more were wounded (including four members of the civil defense), following a raid on the Red Crescent Medical Store in Binish. Sources were conflicted as to who was to blame. Some sources blamed a Russian airliner, whilst others blamed Syrian regime vacuum missiles.
The Shaam News Network reported that civilians homes were also struck in the raid, which led to the injury of ten people.
According to Shahed Ayan, Russian warplanes launches as many as 20 raids in Idlib on the 25th of February. Most sources alleged that two to three of those 20 raids struck Binish.
Two pro-Assad sources – Tasnim and ARef Al-Taweel – reported that “the warplanes struck the headquarters of the Nasra Front, destroyed a number of rocket launchers in the city of Binish in rural Idlib and killed more than 10 gunmen.” These sources do not, however ,match the general narrative reported by other sources.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
