Airwars assessment
Between four and seven civilians including three children and two women were killed in alleged Russian airstrikes on Sheikh Issa, according to a single source.
The Syrian Network for Human Rights initially reported that “The children Ibrahim, Hussein, and Samer Amer Hameidi and their father died in suspected Russian warplanes shelling on Al Sheikh Eisa village in Aleppo governorate, February 19.” However, a later report put the death toll higher, at seven people from one family including two women. Al Jazeera also said that a father and his three children died in a Russian strike.
Syria Journalists Union later named the victims (killed in a Russian strike).
The local time of the incident is unknown.
The victims were named as:
Family members (6)
