Syria: U.S.-Led Airstrikes Reportedly Kill 6 Civilians in Raqqa

HeadlineAug 07, 2017

In Syria, U.S. marines and U.S.-backed Syrian troops, backed by U.S.-led airstrikes, continue the campaign to seize control of the city of Raqqa from ISIS. The local journalistic group Raqqa Is Being Slaughtered Silently reports that at least six civilians were killed during U.S.-led airstrikes on Raqqa on Saturday. This comes as more information is emerging about a U.S.-led missile attack that killed up to seven members of the same family on August 2 in Raqqa. Among the victims was 1-year-old Saad al Shabshol, along with his grandfather.
