U.S.-Led Airstrikes Kill 23 Civilians in Syria
Airstrikes by a U.S.-led coalition killed 23 civilians Wednesday in a village held by the Islamic State group in Syria's eastern Deir Ezzor province, a monitor said.
"At least 23 civilians, among them eight children and six women, were killed Wednesday before dawn by air strikes carried out by the U.S.-led coalition, targeting a village controlled by IS on the eastern banks of the Euphrates river," the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
