Shaam Network also said “Activists confirmed that three civilians were killed and dozens were wounded by Russian warplanes raids on the city of Nawa in the western countryside of Dara’a, as rescue teams recovered the martyrs and evacuated the wounded, after a multi-store apartment building collapsed on the heads of its residents.”

@Omar_Madaniah tweeted that “Russia’s warplanes bomb a convoy of displaced people from #Nawa West # Daraa, chasing them after escaping from the horrific battles.”

Local sources reported that up to 13 civilians including at least three children were killed and others also including children injured in Russian forces or Syrian regime forces airstrikes on Al Taybah in Dara’a on June 27th, 2018. Daraa Martyrs Documentation Office said that ten of the victims are from the same family.

SMART News said “13 civilians were killed Wednesday as a result of a Russian air strike on the town of Taybeh in the province of Daraa, south of Syria.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that many of those injured are in critical conditions and that many civilians are still missing and their fate is unknown.

Daraa Martyrs Documentation Office reported that “Syrian warplanes launched a raid on the town of Taybeh in the eastern village of Daraa, targeting civilian sites inhabited by displaced persons from Daraa al-Balad , Which resulted in the massacre of thirteen martyrs, including ten martyrs from one family.  Daraa Martyrs Documentation Office documented the martyrdom of:Ahmed Awad Abazid and three of his daughters and four of his grandchildren and two of his sons in law, in addition to two martyrs, one of them a child from al Tayba and another unidentified child.”

From their side, Shaam Network blamed Russian warplanes for that. “Russian warplanes committed a new massacre in the eastern village of Daraa, where aircraft raided civilian houses and residential neighborhoods in the town of Taybeh. Activists pointed out that the Russian aircraft targeted the town several raids, which led to the death of 7 martyrs who are displaced people from al Gharya,Al Gharbiya mostly children.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the operation is joint between Russian forces and the Syrian regime as they said ” the regime forces continue their targeting to Daraa countryside, deliberately expanding, with the support of the Russian warplanes.”

The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that ” At least 9 civilians, most of them from the same family, killed as Syrian/ Russian regime warplanes fired missiles on al Tayba village in Daraa governorate southeastern suburbs, on June 27, 2018.”

The sources said seven of the civilians reported killed are IDPs from al Gharya and Local Coordination Committees of Syria said the seven victims are from the same family.

White Helmets published a video on Facebook in which their volunteers were rescuing a child who was under the rubble. Shaam News said the Russian warplanes raided civilians houses and residential areas, and that civil defense volunteers were not able to respond quickly because of the intensity of the bombing.

A civil defense spokesperson told SMART Agency that “Russian warplanes launched raids on residential neighborhoods in the town, killing 13 civilians and wounding four others, as civil defense teams recovered the victims and moved the wounded to nearby hospitals.”

 

The local time of the incident is unknown.

Airwars assessment

Between two and 20 civilians were reportedly killed in alleged Russian airstrikes on the town of Al Musifra, Dara’a governorate, on June 27th, 2020, according to local sources. A Syrian Civil Defence centre was targeted and destroyed.

Horrya’s correspondent Lujain Al Melihan reported “the martyrdom of about 20 civilians, dozens of wounded, most of them women and children, most of them from one family, as a result of Russian raids on the town of Al Musifra in the eastern countryside of Daraa, with an increase in the number of martyrs due to the fact that rescue teams are still recovering victims from below the rubble.”

Dana Al Kafri identified two victims as Younis Al Mamdouh Al Zoubi and Hajj Mazid Al Fahad Al Zoubi Abu Muhammad, adding that “several townspeople were wounded, medium to serious, as a result of the bombing of Russian aircraft.”

@HadiAlabdallah tweeted that there had been “10 civilian martyrs, as a result of the Russian warplanes targeting the towns of Al Musifra, Jiza, Saida, Fateea, and Dael with a series of raids”, but did not specify how many victims fell in Al Musifra.

Fresh-Syria reported that “the Civil Defense Center in Al Masifra town in Dara’a countryside was subjected to several similar raids, which also resulted in its departure from service”, blaming Russian forces for the airstrikes.

Shaam News Network, the Local Coordination Committees of Syria and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported each that one civilian was killed in the strikes on Al Musifra.

All sources reported that Russia had been responsible for the strikes, with the exception of Step News, who wrote that “the number of deaths in Dara’a has risen to four by the bombing of Syrian and Russian aircraft on the city Al Harak and the towns of Al Jiza and Al Musifra.” Because Step News did not specifically speak of the incident in Al Musifra, but mentioned multiple incidents, and all other sources only mentioned Russia as the belligerent, this incident is graded as fair.

The local time of the incident is unknown.
