U.S. Investigation into Civilian Casualties in 2019 Syria Airstrike

The U.S. is conducting a new investigation into claims that Syrian civilians were killed and maimed in a U.S. strike during its raid targeting ISIS founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2019. The Pentagon has acknowledged discrepancies in its original account and is reevaluating the civilian status of the survivors and victims. Barakat Ahmad Barakat, a survivor of the airstrike, has been left permanently disabled and is hopeful for acknowledgment and support.
