geolocation of an alleged Russian Iskander missile strike on Azaz Hospital google.com/maps?ll=36.573…
geolocation of a second Russian Iskander missile strike on buildings in Tabqa google.com/maps?ll=35.846…
#PT these strikes were conducted Q1 2016
#PT possibly related airwars.org/civilian-casua… (reports of two "ballistic missiles" fired at Azaz)
the missiles were fired from Hmeymim airbase zoom.earth/#view=35.40760… (satellite image dated 11 Dec 2015)
the Russians were starting to build an apron in this area of the airbase early February 2016 apps.sentinel-hub.com/sentinel-playg…
the impact on the hospital appears on satellite image after 20 Mar 2016. there isn't much visible of the impact of the second missile but that may be due to their success rate of mere 10%.. ;-)
as for the second strike in Tabqa that was shown in this video it appears to have taken place around the same time, between 14 January and 24 March 2016
more precisely, between 10 Jan and 15 Feb 2016 from looking at @planetlabs PlanetScope scenes
it's clear from the launch video/flight pattern that these were cruise missiles fired from Iskander-K

mass grave sites in Raqqa which were prepared by IS early in 2017 in advance to their loss of the province and the city to the SDF are visible on Google Earth
#PT i've tweeted about these mass graves previously and @_RichardHall has reported from Raqqa for @Independent just recently with images that show how these sites look from the ground independent.co.uk/news/world/mid…
from the article: "of the bodies exhumed to date [..] some 80 per cent have been civilians [..] all of those buried here died in the final fight for Raqqa [..] many died in the crossfire. «Isis prevented anyone from getting out of the city, and the coalition bombed everything»"
