International Coalition: We are fighting to minimize civilian casualties because of our raids
Translation / Hamid Ahmed
LONDON (Reuters) - The war is a "hell" and a defeat can not be defeated without a civilian casualty, a British general in the leadership of the international coalition against Saddam said in Iraq.
Major General Robert Jones, in an interview with the British newspaper The Times, defended the alliance's achievements against a pro-Syrian organization in Iraq and Syria amid criticism by human rights organizations of the destruction and devastation in Iraq and Syria and the loss of civilian lives. Cheers.
"The international coalition is doing everything it can to minimize casualties among civilians," he said, adding that there was "a price to pay" for defeating an enemy hiding in densely populated residential areas.
Entire neighborhoods were destroyed in areas west of Mosul during the nine-month-long military campaign to liberate Mosul, which ended in July this year. Large areas of Raqqa, a stronghold of Syria, have been devastated. An armed man from an organized organization still exists in the city. In July, Amnesty International described the battle west of Mosul as a "civil disaster".
The international coalition claims that at least 685 civilians have been killed in air strikes against Da'ash in Iraq and Syria since 2014, while Britain's Airwars estimated war casualties of about 5,343 civilians from coalition strikes.
"Mosul is a city of 1.2 million people that were occupied by the most brutal terrorist groups on the scale of the war," said General Jones, who served as deputy commander of the coalition forces in Iraq until the beginning of the month. "An organization is calling for a corrupt and evil organization. They could have been eliminated in a city like Mosul without casualties among civilians despite all the precautions the army wants to save their lives? "
The British, who used the Royal Air Force squadrons and aircraft to target a fugitive in Iraq and Syria, have managed to kill 3,000 militants from a militant organization during their air operations.
The British Ministry of Defense said in a statement that there was "no credible evidence" that the raids had killed civilians.
Jones said the coalition was conducting a wide-ranging reconnaissance of any target chosen for the pre-strike to ensure that there are no civilians there, pointing out that the organization is calling and malicious methods of flying the coalition aircraft to deceive them, causing the loss of civilian casualties.
"They are taking civilians as shields for them, gathering civilians in buildings and holding them and then installing a sniper in the roof of the building to fire, because they know the coalition planes will target the building, but the pilot does not really know that civilians are being held inside," Jones said. The enemy we are dealing with. "
