Local sources reported the death of an adult civilian male, Hussein al-Humeidahin al Bagouz. There was however a discrepancy in the reports. While some local sources attributed the civilian\u2019s death to (SDF) artillery shelling, one source claimed that he was killed by a sniper.<\/p>\n
Euphrates Post reported for example the \u201cmartyrdom of Hussein al-Humeidah after artillery shelling by the SDF on the town of Al-Bagouz this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Al Boukamal Direct added that Mr al-Humeidah had refused to leave his home to flee intense fighting in al Bagouz. However another source said Mr al-Humeidah had instead been shephering his sheep at the time of his death.<\/p>\n
Other media also reported heavy fighting between so-called Islamic State and the SDF. Al Shafaa stated on its Facebook page that in the \u201cearly hours of the morning\u201d\u00a0columns of smoke were rising from al Baguoz\u00a0and \u201cthe sounds of artillery did not calm down during most of the daylight hours\u201d. Sound and Picture added that dozens of ISIS fighters were killed in clashes with SDF militia.<\/p>\n
The reports of artillery shelling seemed to contradict the report from Fajr al Boukamal, who detailed that al-Humeidah was killed by sniper fire \u201cwhile he was in a field shepherding his sheep\u201d. Fajr al Boukamal is however alone in saying this.<\/p>\n
In the second of their September 2020 civilian casualty reports, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in this strike as “non-credible”, stating that the allegation provided insufficient information on the timing and location of the strike to make a determination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","country":[246],"belligerent":[249],"strike_type":[],"cause_of_death":[],"targeted_belligerents":[],"strike_status":[],"civilian_harm_reported":[834],"civilian_harm_status":[839],"belligerent_assessment":[867],"geolocation_assessor":[],"declassified_document":[900],"geolocation_status":[],"observation":[],"munition":[],"casualty":[957],"impact":[],"civilian_infrastructure":[],"documentation":[],"citation":[],"class_list":["post-35642","civ","type-civ","status-publish","hentry","country-syria","belligerent-coalition","civilian_harm_reported-yes","civilian_harm_status-contested","belligerent_assessment-non-credible-unsubstantiated","declassified_document-no","casualty-men"],"acf":{"latitude":34.4641667,"longitude":40.9452778,"geolocation_accuracy":"village","multiple_location_incident":null,"geolocations":[{"latitude":34.4641667,"longitude":40.9452778,"geolocation_accuracy":"village","primary_coordinate":true}],"geojson":null,"show_geolocation_caption":false,"geojson_caption":"","media_geolocation":null,"geolocation_notes":"","geolocation_sources":null,"show_internal_notes":false,"internal_geolocation_notes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civ\/35642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civ"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/civ"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"belligerent","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/belligerent?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"strike_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/strike_type?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"cause_of_death","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cause_of_death?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"targeted_belligerents","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/targeted_belligerents?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"strike_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/strike_status?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"civilian_harm_reported","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civilian_harm_reported?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"civilian_harm_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civilian_harm_status?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"belligerent_assessment","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/belligerent_assessment?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"geolocation_assessor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/geolocation_assessor?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"declassified_document","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/declassified_document?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"geolocation_status","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/geolocation_status?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"observation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/observation?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"munition","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/munition?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"casualty","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casualty?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"impact","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/impact?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"civilian_infrastructure","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/civilian_infrastructure?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"documentation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/documentation?post=35642"},{"taxonomy":"citation","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/airwars.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/citation?post=35642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
