Local sources reported that up to thirty civilians were killed and injured when Coalition airstrikes allegedly targeted several locations between al Soussa and al Dahra.<\/p>\n

This was reiterated by Syrian state media SANA, which added that \u201cscores of families from al-Soussa have been fleeing the airstrikes of the Coalition that have been targeting their homes for days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Al Soussa Youth reported that one of the civilians killed was identified as Hamid Al Zaidan from al Habatra, whose recovered body had been brought to his family. According to the report, the other bodies \u201ccan\u2019t be reached.\u201d Two days after the event, both al Soussa Youth and Step News Agency reported a tally of 30 civilians killed, while mentioning that these were still not recovered from the site.<\/p>\n
