3.1.1.3.1 Case Study This video shows two men describing an attack by presumed Russian warplanes on a village in Anjara (Arabic: ‫)ﻋﻧﺟﺎرة‬, in the countryside west of Aleppo, Syria. The video begins with the first man describing the attack. It then depicts cluster munitions and shows the various holes in the ground created by the dropping of cluster bombs on the field. The same man also indicates the area which has been affected. Following this, the second man also describes the attack while holding, what seems to be at first glance, a cluster munition split in half. The video ends with the depiction of a funeral during which the victims of the alleged attack are buried. When analyzing this video it is important to take notice of the indicators, which may lead to determining the geolocation. These include (1) the minaret (0:19), (2) the shape of the asphalt road (0:30-0:34), (3) the location of the buildings along the road, (4) a large metal electricity pole (0:31), and (5) a large cemetery (0:43). Furthermore, after having looked for corroborating evidence, a second video was found. This video showed the immediate aftermath of the same incident. It is filmed while driving in a car, and the car drives away from the mosque (see Overview map) in the direction of ‘2’, which it passes, and then arrives just before point ‘1’. As the smoke is rising from that point, it is likely that the immediate area around ‘1’ on the map is the impact area of the alleged cluster bombing. The incident was further corroborated by an article on Al Jazeera Arabic. The article, published on February 22, 2016, states the incident occurred “yesterday afternoon”, meaning February 21, 2016. Camera position 1, coordinates: 36.220527, 36.952976 21
