John Moore, a CENTCOM spokesperson, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation will examine the drone strike in early May that aimed to target a senior al-Qaida leader but instead may have killed a civilian with no terrorism ties. The man reportedly killed was Lutfi Hassan Masto, <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/syria-centcom-alqaida-strike-civilian-idlib-a644a14db73aaa0270c7dbc252e51b03\" target=\"_blank\">according to<\/a> The Associated Press. His brother described him as a farmer with no involvement with armed groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident poses questions over compliance with the military\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/04\/18\/pentagon-taps-official-to-oversee-civilian-protection-in-war-zones\/\" target=\"_blank\">civilian harm mitigation plan<\/a>, which the Department of Defense developed in 2022 following various reports of U.S. strikes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/breaking-news\/2021\/09\/17\/pentagon-reverses-itself-calls-deadly-kabul-strike-an-error\/\" target=\"_blank\">resulted in civilian deaths<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CENTCOM\u2019s Brig. Gen. John Cogbill has opened an investigation, which spokesman Moore said could last 30 days or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CENTCOM commander Gen. Michael \u201cErik\u201d Kurilla ordered an announcement of the strike on social media without confirmation of exactly who was killed in the operation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/05\/23\/politics\/us-general-twitter-syria-drone-strike\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">CNN reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt 1142 am local Syrian time on 3 May, U.S. Central Command forces conducted a unilateral strike in Northwest Syria targeting a senior Al Qaeda leader,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CENTCOM\/status\/1653730332393324546\" target=\"_blank\">tweet said<\/a>. \u201cWe will provide more information as operational details become available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The investigation comes after The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/2023\/05\/18\/pentagon-drone-strike-syria-civilian-al-qaeda\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> doubt over who was killed in the strike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CENTCOM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centcom.mil\/MEDIA\/PRESS-RELEASES\/Press-Release-View\/Article\/3419207\/centcom-month-in-review-the-fight-against-isis-in-iraq-and-syria\/\" target=\"_blank\">reported<\/a> it had conducted 38 missions in May alone against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, killing eight alleged ISIS operatives and detaining 31.
