After the announcement of Trump, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has denounced at least 200 people, including fighters of the Islamic Jihad (IS) and their families, have died Tuesday in Bhagouz following an international coalition bomb attack on the last Syrian town where jihadists resist.

The UK-based NGO, which is close to Syrian rebels, said the death list includes "women and children" related to jihadists.

The bodies of those killed by the coalition attacks were buried Wednesday in Bhagouz, a border town in Iraq where the last major battle against the Islamic State is taking place.

Until now, the international coalition led by the United States, which according to the OSDH was responsible for deaths, has not released any information about it.

In recent days, the Syrian Democratic Forces (FSD), led by Kurdish militias and with the help of the Washington-led coalition, have cornered the latest jihadists in the Syrian town on the edge of the Euphrates.

Thousands of ISF fighters and their families have visited the Kurdish militias who have led the offensive in recent weeks.

Women and children were transferred to IDP camps, while men suspected of belonging to the Islamist group were sent to interrogation centers in unknown locations and guarded by the FSD.

With the fall of Bhagouz, the FSD will proclaim victory over their enemies and the end of the extremist group that proclaimed the establishment of their "caliphate" in parts of Syria and Iraq on June 29, 2014 .
