إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

A US-led coalition air strike on Monday killed 23 civilians in a Syrian town held by the Islamic State group on the border with Iraq, a monitor said.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike on the town of Albu Kamal hit around 3:00 am local time.

The monitor said some of those killed in the strike were civilians displaced from other areas controlled by IS, including Syria's Deir Ezzor and Raqa provinces, and neighbouring Iraq.

The deaths came after another strike by the US-led coalition in Raqa province on Sunday that killed 12 women, the monitor said.

I guess the babies killed by the US are ugly?

Three observations here:

1) When Assad kills children and babies you are the first to rear your ugly head and say it is false and fake news and the children were acting.

2) When the U.S kills children or civilians you are the first to rear your ugly head and take the word of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights for it and accept the news.

3) You are an evil sick individual

Southern, what is "bilateral damage"?

One observation here: No one denies all sides have killed civilians, the issue is just that there is no condemnation or sanctions from the world when the US, Turks, or oil-Arabs do it.

The UN Human Rights Council always looks into claims of civilian deaths and there is often a complaint to the UNSC. Neither has occurred in this case.
