There was flawed intelligence, faulty targeting and a lack of accountability for wrongdoing in the Pentagon's secret archive of over 1,300 reports of civilian casualties in airstrikes.

An investigation found many more civilian deaths than the official military count of 1,417, though it did not provide an exact count.

The military said only seven to 24 civilians died in the bombing of Tokhar, Syria, but an investigation by The Times found over 120 civilians had been killed. The Times said the airstrike hit homes where civilians were taking cover.

A family of four in a car that was fleeing West Mosul, Iraq, and three other civilians were killed after the vehicle was mistaken as a car bomb.

There were no records with a finding of wrongdoing orDisciplinary action, and less than a dozen condolence payments were made despite civilians suffering tremendous medical issues and costs as a result of these misjudgments.

US Central Command didn't respond to Insider's request for comment.

Military leaders hid a airstrike in Syria in which 64 people were killed.

Insider's Charles Davis reported that an independent monitoring group found that the US has killed as many as 48,000 civilians since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
