In the serene village of Sinzai, Afghanistan, Mohammad Tahir has endured unimaginable loss. In 2019, a U.S. airstrike, allegedly targeting Taliban militants, resulted in the death of seven of Tahir's relatives, including his beloved son and several cousins.
Tahir recounts that his village has been struck by U.S. airstrikes seven or eight times, each time bringing devastation and fear to the residents. \"The U.S. helicopters fired indiscriminately,\" he recalls, emphasizing that those killed were all innocent civilians with no ties to the conflict.
This tragic incident underscores the ongoing risks faced by civilians in conflict zones and raises pressing questions about the measures in place to protect innocent lives during military operations.
