U.S. raid in Syria mistakenly killed Syrian informant Khaled al-Masoud, sparking calls for accountability.
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.
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.
Witnesses reported U.S. troops arriving with Humvees and weapons, breaking down the door.
Al-Masoud was taken wounded, reportedly released, then found dead.
Neither U.S. nor Syrian officials have confirmed or commented, though joint operations against IS continue.
Analysts cite poor coordination as a likely factor, raising concerns about the impact on counter-IS efforts.
Al-Masoud’s family blames faulty intelligence from the Syrian Free Army and demands accountability.
