Two to three civilians, including a child, were reported killed in airstrikes on Heesh, Idlib, on August 20th, 2019.

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that “a man and a child” were killed “as a result of Russian raids on the village of Heesh”. The same source elsewhere reported the death of three in the attack.

Syria.liveuamap documented that “two men and a child were killed in Haysh and Madani village near Kafranbel due to Russian raids.” @MasarPressAgency and Syrianoor also reported that two men and a child were killed.

Almost all sources attributed the attack to Russian forces except @Step_Agency, which attributed the strikes to regime helicoptors bombing Heesh with “barrel bombs.”
