Meanwhile, U.S.-led coalition airstrikes targeting ISIS militants in Syria’s Raqqa governorate continue to kill civilians. The journalistic monitoring group Airwars says that on Friday a U.S.-led coalition airstrike on a house reportedly killed at least five civilians, while another strike that same day on an internet cafe reportedly killed at least nine civilians, including three children. The following day, a U.S.-led coalition airstrike reportedly killed at least seven civilians, including six children, when the strike hit a boat on the Euphrates River the family was traveling on.
