Airwars assessment
Seventeen non-combatants including eight women and nine children were killed in airstrikes on Najieh near Jisr al Shughour according to multiple sources – though reports were conflicted as to whether the attack was the work of Russia or the Assad regime. Thirteen of those killed as well as an unborn child came from one family, the Hilals.
Shaam News and the Syrian Observatory said Russian warplane were responsible. SNN said the attacks were carried out while worshippers were leaving Friday prayers, and that civilian houses were targeted. But the Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that the civilians died when regime warplanes fired two missiles.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
