The International Coalition Carried Out A Massacre In Al-Bukamal Today,
Killing Dozens Of Civilians
Date: 15 / 5 / 2017
The USA-led International Coalition carried out a horrific massacre in
Al-Bukamal city during the dawn, after executing multiple strikes
against the city, which targeted an area near Al-Rahman Mosque and the
vicinity of Al-Russafa as well as Al-Iman Mosque and the Hajanah
Barrack.
The civilian death toll from the airstrikes has risen to 25 civilians,
including locals and displaced families. The death toll might increase
since rescue operations to pull trapped civilians out of the rubble area
still ongoing.
More than 15 civilian-owned homes were destroyed, and many other
civilian properties were badly damaged.
