(Headline USA) When helicopters carrying some 50 U.S. commandos thumped onto the ground in Syria an hour after midnight, the raiders confronted a houseful of innocent civilians—including women and children—alongside a smattering of ISIS extremists.

The attack Wednesday on reported ISIS leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was an audacious raid in an extremist stronghold of northwest Syria, executed with the understanding that children might die if the building’s occupants did not get out when given the chance to leave.

Pictures of the rubble afterward revealed a wrecked bedroom with a wooden crib and a stuffed rabbit doll. On one damaged wall, the baby swing was still hanging.

Blood could be seen on the walls and floor in what remains of the structure.

First responders said 13 people died, six of them children.

Videos released by the Syrian opposition group Syrian Civil Defense, also known as White Helmets, showed a paramedic rushing a little girl from the house into an ambulance. -- excerpt, rest at link above --

Civilian death toll in ISIS leader raid could be higher than Pentagon first said

U.S. military officials acknowledged the number of civilian casualties during the special operations raid in Syria that targeted an ISIS leader could be higher than previously reported.

Special operations forces conducted the mission last week, resulting in the death of Abu Ibrahim al Hashimi al Qurayshi, who had taken over as the head of the Islamic State following the death of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in 2019.

While Biden administration and Department of Defense officials initially said al Qurayshi detonated a bomb killing himself and his family as the special operators were outside, two military officials told a small group of reporters on Thursday they aren’t certain he was the one who detonated the device, according to the Associated Press.

The officials said the bomb was definitely set off by someone on the third floor of the building where he and his family were staying. However, they don't have enough evidence to support what they said was the most likely scenario, which is that he detonated it.

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said at the time there were three civilian casualties, which he identified as the leader’s wife and two children. However, nearby organizations said the total was higher.

The Syrian White Helmets, also known as the Syria Civil Defense, said 13 bodies were recovered at the site, including six children and four women. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also said 13 people lost their lives in the strike, though the group reported four children and three women died.

There is no video of the explosion or efforts to get the civilians in other parts of the house, per the officials. Still, the military previously said the special operators called out to the residents with a bullhorn encouraging them to surrender.

Kirby said the military had sought to capture al Qurayshi, so President Joe Biden opted for a raid over an airstrike, which would have posed a smaller risk to troops.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
