(NSFW) Russian Missile Directly Hits First Responders, Killing 6 on Camera
Published 3 years ago
On July 17, 2021 Syrian Civilians and first responders took a direct hit from Russian and Regime force's heavy artillery in the village of Sarja, Idlib.
Reports of this incident have stated that volunteers from the Syria Civil Defense, otherwise known as "The White Helmets" were in search of surviving civilians from the massacre that occurred in the early morning hours. As the SCD began extracting the civilians, they were struck by a laser-guided missile, which impacted their position directly.
Wounded from debris and shrapnel, the helmet attached GoPro caught the last moments of these individual's lives, as they began bleeding out. The man behind the GoPro has been identified as Hammam Al-Asi, a volunteer at the SCD. Earlier this morning the White Helmets released this statement: "After hours of waiting in front of the operating room, we’re devastated to announce that our volunteer Hammam Al-Asi has passed away". Over the course of forty days, this is the sixth occurrence of Russian and Regime forces deliberately attacking humanitarian worker positions.
From this incident alone, six individuals were killed, three sisters, their grandmother, a man, and White Helmet Hammam. If you'd like to share any further information on this incident, please feel free to leave it in the comments below.
For the sixth time in 40 days, Russia & the regime forces target our #WhiteHelmets teams, killing humanitarian workers, & committing yet another massacre against civilians. Hammam today was our 291st fallen hero. We have no more words to describe the tragedy. #NotATarget pic.twitter.com/VXxMleijiq
