Airwars assessment
Between one and three medical staff members of the Nabd Al Hayat Hospital or Sham Hospital in the town of Hass were injured in alleged Russian or Syrian regime airstrikes on September 8th, 2018, according to local sources.
@BonnieKipperman reported that the Sham hospital had completely run out of service due to barrel strikes by Syrian regime helicopters, leading to the injury of two medical staff members. @ShehabAgency reported the injury of three people, whereas @StepAgency only mentioned one wounded.
The Syrian Civil Defence rushed to the location of the raids to help the injured and extinguish fires, explicitly stating that it had not recorded any fatal casualties.
Whereas several sources, such as Edlib Media Center, reported the targeted hospital was Nabd Al Hayat Hospital, others reported that Sham Hospital had been targeted. It is possible that these are names for the same hospital.
While most sources blamed the Syrian regime for the airstrikes, Step Agency blamed both the Syrian regime and Russia. Hence, this incident is graded as contested.
The local time of the incident is unknown.
