Talk:2024 Al-Mustariha massacre

Inconsistencles in Article

There are no villages named "Al-Mustariha" in the Raqqa Governorate. Sources cited regarding the detailes are unreliable (ANHA). 176.54.69.56 (talk) 12:57, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

2024 Al-Mustariha massacre → 2024 Turkish airstrikes in Syria – Consistency. This article should be named like 2024 Homs airstrikes or April 2017 Turkish airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Because these air strikes are organised for enemy sides of the perpetrator's and some civillians killed in those air strikes. This title means that Turkey only carries out air strike to massacre innocent civilians. However, this airstrike is only one of 191 airstrikes against the SDF-YPG, therefore we cannot seperate this air strike from other 190 air strikes. All of them are carried out within 2024. The content also mentions the death toll from other airstrikes. Also these airstrikes belongs to Hasakah province, Raqqa province and rural Aleppo. This title mentions 11 civilians in Raqqa province but how about other 6 civillian deaths in Hasakah province? If you look at death toll, military personnels also killed besides civillians and this means that Turkish Air Force didn't target civillians especially. Also it's ridiculous to target little amount of civillians in a village. If Turkish Air Force want to kill civillians, bombing big city centers is more efficient way like Israel did in Gaza Strip. Therefore that title is biased and we cannot named this event as a massacre just for killed civillians because more military personnels killed in these air strikes. Seondly, wikipedia there's a village named Mustariha and it's located at Idlib. However news says it's a village in the suburbs of Ain Issa. I cannot find location of the village. It's very interesting. All in all, this article should be moved to "2024 Turkish airstrikes in Syria" However we can use northern Syria but I'm not sure about geographic naming. Note: If the title I propose is appropriate, the content should be revised accordingly, because it gives the impression that the attack was made specifically for this village and targeted especially civillians in this village.--Sabri76'^talk 17:46, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

• Support I've been looking through other examples of airstrikes/drone strikes on wiki and it seems rather consistently that massacres perpetrated against civilians via drone are treated differently and not labeled as massacres (ie. Baghuz). However, it may make sense to split the drone strike in Al-Mustariha from the rest of the campaign though, as this specific strike killed civilians, instead of naming the article about the general campaign.

• Oppose proposal "2024 Turkish airstrikes in Syria" is very vague title especially since there are claims of quite regular airstrikes, imo the date should be at least mentioned Braganza (talk) 07:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@Braganza:, so your offer is "December 2024 Al-Mustariha air strike"? However we don't know the location of Al-Mustariha. News says it's in the west of Ain Issa and north of Raqqa, but we just see Mustariha village in Idlib. Before this news, there's no information about Al-Mustariha village in Ayn Issa. This is so weird. Almost I've found a Mustariha in Hama Governorate. How about "December 2024 Ayn Isa air strike" ?--Sabri76'^talk 22:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
