Syria: Civilians Die in Russian, Syrian and U.S.-Led Coalition Airstrikes

HeadlineSep 29, 2017

In Syria, anti-government forces say at least 152 civilians were killed and dozens more injured in opposition-held parts of Idlib province over the last week, saying Syrian and Russian warplanes bombed six hospitals, five civil defense centers, power stations and camps for displaced civilians. Meanwhile, fighting continues to rage in the city of Raqqa, where a Kurdish commander said Thursday ISIS is cornered and “breathing its last gasps.” The journalistic monitoring group Airwars reports U.S.-led coalition attacks have killed at least 61 civilians in Raqqa since Saturday, including a young child, described as the son of Osama Kadoor, and Sa’id Mohammed al-Sa’id, a father of six.
