Activists on the ground also report the strikes have killed civilians. In Raqqa, the first wave of strikes reportedly killed 30 people, mostly local residents. In Aleppo, another unconfirmed report said 11 people were killed, including four children. Video footage showed bodies being pulled from the rubble of a destroyed building. In the town of Kfar Daryan, a resident said the U.S.-led strikes had killed displaced civilians who had fled the Assad regime.

Abu Ossamah: “The military headquarters are far from the city, in the mountains. There are no military headquarters inside the city. All the people who were killed today were displaced civilians from Aleppo fearing the bombs of Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president.”
