One member of Doctors Without Borders was killed and three other civilians including two aged 17 wounded in an alleged Turkish mortar strike on a convoy about four kilometers north of Tal Temr, local sources reported.

Hawar news said: “The invading Turkish state wounded two doctors by firing cannons at Til Temir’s convoy of Doctors Without Borders between Al-Rashidiy and Al-Qasimiyê village. The condition of one of the doctors remains serious.”

Later reports said that one of the victims had died.

Free Burma Rangers issued the following statement:

“We are very sad to announce that Zau Seng, our Kachin cameraman and medic from Burma, was killed today, Nov. 3., by a Free Syrian Army/Turkish Army mortar strike that hit our forward casualty collection point where we were assembled to treat the wounded.

“Last night, Nov. 2, we had rescued three people from this area successfully but this time we were hit very close, about 10 meters from us. Mohammed, our Iraqi translator and coordinator, was also wounded but is in stable condition in the hospital.

“Zau Seng was my brother and hero. He leaves behind a wife, Lunu, and daughter, who celebrated her first birthday today. We pledge to take care of his wife and daughter as much as we can. We believe Zau is with Jesus now, in what the people of Burma call ‘the undiscovered land.’ He has now discovered it.

“I know he’s happy and still laughing, as he was always laughing, but we are sad because the world is emptier without him.”

A second post by Burma Rangers quoted Mohammed, the wounded Iraqi translator. He said:  “Our duty is to remove civilians from the battlefield. We are a human rights organization. When we reached the village of Al-Ezîziyê, we were exposed to bombardment of gangs belonging to the Turkish state. The gangs wanted to pave the way for them to reach Til Temir. We were attacked when we treated the wounded. Despite the Red Cross flag on our vehicle, they continued to attack us. A Thai member lost his life as a result of the attacks.”

The incident occured in the afternoon.

Dr Zau Seng

At least four civilians, including a woman and two children from the same family, died and as many as dozens more were wounded in alleged Russian airstrikes on Jabala, according to sources on the ground.

The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported: “At least four civilians from the same family, including a woman, were killed as fixed- wing warplanes we believe were Russian fired missiles on al Shamali neighborhood in Jabala village in the southern suburbs of Idlib governorate, on November 2, 2019.”

@NagiNajjar named the civilians killed: Faisal Al-Abdullah (M), Ahmed Al-Abdullah (M), Hussein Al-Abdullah (M), Muhammad Salem Al-Ayoub (M), and Ahmed Al-Abdullah’s wife (F). A post by Stc council AR also added the name Amna Hussein Al-Abdullah, which could also be the name of the wife of Ahmed Al-Abdullah.

According to the Shaam News Network, “activists said that Russian aviation targeted a residential house for civilians, caused the bombing massacre of the whole family more than five people”.

@abuhuzaifa_ noted that the victims included “a mother and two children”.

A tweet by @HadiAlabdallah reported “6 martyrs as a preliminary result as a result of the Russian warplanes targeting residential homes.” Orient also reported six civilians killed, adding that this was “an initial toll that could be increased.”

A video posted by Shaam shows the destruction to buildings caused by the airstrikes as well as bodies being removed from the area and a video posted by @mhmdfaisel shows the moment the airstrikes impacted Jabala and White Helmets sorting through the rubble. Al Jazeera reported that the strikes “caused great damage to civilian property and homes.”

Shaam News reported that “defense personnel recovered the remains of the victims from under the rubble of the destroyed building, at a time when Russian warplanes and reconnaissance aircraft monitored the site and targeted its surroundings to prevent the arrival of ambulances.”

All of the sources that reported on the incident attributed the airstrikes to Russia while only Smart News didn’t distinguish whether Russia or the regime was responsible.
