The US Central Command [CENTCOM] reported that international coalition led by the US at fighting Daesh, 484 civilians have been killed “accidentally” in three years.

According to the statement made from the Pentagon, 21 thousand 35 air operations were organized, 0.27 percent of these operations were reported as civilian casualties.

It is stated that the number of those who lost their lives is more than its mentioning.

However, these numbers are very low compared to the data of human rights organizations closely monitoring the conflicts and operations in Iraq and Syria.

According to London-based Airwars, which collects information from local sources, 3,800 civilians have been killed in operation against the Daesh since the air operations began in 2014.

According to the Syrian Human Rights Observer, in Syria, between April and May, 225 civilians lost their lives. It is stated that this period was the record of the highest month of civilian losses.

On March 17, the US attack on Daesh’s snipers in Mosul resulted in more than 105 civilian casualties.

After the attack, Amnesty International accused coalition forces of not taking adequate measures to prevent civilian deaths. (ILKHA)
