flag U.S. raid in Syria mistakenly killed Syrian informant Khaled al-Masoud, sparking calls for accountability.

flag A U.S. military raid in October 2025 in al-Dumayr, Syria, mistakenly killed Khaled al-Masoud, a Syrian man who had been working undercover for opposition forces and later for the interim government led by Ahmad al-Sharaa, according to his family and Syrian officials. flag The raid, conducted with the U.S.-trained Syrian Free Army, targeted an Islamic State official but instead killed al-Masoud at his home, despite his identification as a government security officer. flag Witnesses reported U.S. troops arriving with Humvees and weapons, breaking down the door. flag Al-Masoud was taken wounded, reportedly released, then found dead. flag Neither U.S. nor Syrian officials have confirmed or commented, though joint operations against IS continue. flag Analysts cite poor coordination as a likely factor, raising concerns about the impact on counter-IS efforts. flag Al-Masoud’s family blames faulty intelligence from the Syrian Free Army and demands accountability.
