In a letter to the Netherlands’ parliament, the Dutch Defense Ministry admitted to a botched airstrike against the Iraqi city of Hawija in 2015. At the time, they’d claimed to have attacked ISIS in an airstrike, killing some militants.
Instead, it turns out they killed a lot of civilians. Of the 70 believed killed in the strike, as many as 70 could be civilians, though the Defense Ministry conceded that they never actually attempted to figure out how many that actually was.
The statement claimed that initial intelligence available in 2015 said there were no civilians believed to be living in the area, and least of all children, so they figured they couldn’t have killed any. They further believed few ISIS would be killed either, since they attacked the site in the middle of the night.
The initial attack caused a number of explosions throughout the neighborhood, killing a lot of civilians. The Defense Ministry statement insisted that they couldn’t have known that would happen.
And the reason the Netherlands is in M. E
killing Arabs?????¿¿¿¿
If they wanted to they could of stayed in Netherlands and killed ISIS and other terrorist before they left and after they came home.
For that matter BRITS and almost every EUROPEAN nation had tetrorist, both male and female coming and going.
They could of saved money on A/V Gas and,ships fuel just bombing those close at hand.
Of course Netherlands is paid handsomely to stockpile US and NATO nuclear warheads.
Just one more two faced , forked tongued political leadership in lands who’s people brag about how peacefull and civilized they are while saying, “How Violent and Barbaric the United States is”.
In the Balkan’s war, the Dutch forces withdrew leaving civilians at the mercy of killer Serbs. We all know what happened next. Extermination! Is this their commanders poor decisions or something more? Did it happen again here with the same poor command?
Bomb the fucking Netherlands !
