Five or more civilians were allegedly killed by a NATO airstrike on Sirte.<\/p>\n

Sirte martyrs posted the victims’ names and said: “These heroes were martyred by the NATO bombing in Sirte on 20 Ramadan of the Nakba year corresponding to 08-20-2011.”<\/p>\n

Al Gharib Al Ajli wrote: “Meanwhile, 5 NATO missiles collapsed on our house, 5 terrible fire blocks on a house in a residential neighborhood, the house was destroyed and its columns fell and 5 martyrs fell among the best of the young, one of them was the son of my sister, the martyr Badr al-Naji Khalaf Allah.”<\/p>\n

The source added: “They are young civilians, among the best young men in the city of Sirte, they were not on the back of a tank, or they were barricading machine guns.”<\/p>\n

Surt Son posted a video of the bodies on Youtube titled: “Massacre led to the deaths of dozens of Libyans as a result of aggression of NATO.”<\/p>\n

Various condolence pages commemorated the loss of family members in the incident over the years.<\/p>\n

NATO reported striking one command and control node in Sirte on that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","country":[373],"belligerent":[735],"strike_type":[431],"cause_of_death":[448],"targeted_belligerents":[],"strike_status":[831],"civilian_harm_reported":[834],"civilian_harm_status":[837],"belligerent_assessment":[868],"geolocation_assessor":[],"declassified_document":[900],"geolocation_status":[],"observation":[],"munition":[],"casualty":[957],"impact":[],"civilian_infrastructure":[],"documentation":[],"class_list":["post-72825","civ","type-civ","status-publish","hentry","country-libya","belligerent-nato-forces","strike_type-airstrike","cause_of_death-heavy-weapons-and-explosive-munitions","strike_status-declared-strike","civilian_harm_reported-yes","civilian_harm_status-fair","belligerent_assessment-not-yet-assessed","declassified_document-no","casualty-men"],"acf":{"latitude":31.190547,"longitude":16.571441,"geolocation_accuracy":"city","multiple_location_incident":null,"geolocations":[{"latitude":31.190547,"longitude":16.571441,"geolocation_accuracy":"city","primary_coordinate":true}],"geojson":null,"show_geolocation_caption":false,"geojson_caption":"","media_geolocation":null,"geolocation_notes":"Reports of the incident mention the city of Sirte (\u0633\u0631\u062a\u200e), for which the generic coordinates are: 31.190547, 16.571441.
