Meanwhile, U.S.-backed coalition airstrikes continue in the Syrian city of Raqqa. The journalistic monitoring group Airwars says coalition bombing last Thursday reportedly killed a father named Ibrahim Ali Mohammed, his two sons Ayham and Iyad, and his 8-year-old daughter Amal, when an airstrike destroyed the family’s house. Also on Thursday, airstrikes reportedly killed two brothers, Mohamed Omar Hamdan and Mohannad Omar Hamdan. The family of Mohammed Khalaf al Kajawan, including his wife, their two daughters and their two sons, were also reportedly killed by either U.S.-led coalition airstrikes or shelling by the U.S.-backed Syrian troops that same day.
