An air strike targeting an area in eastern Syria, a few kilometers from the border with Iraq, claimed 54 lives, including 28 civilians and militants of the Islamic State (IS) group, said today Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (OSDH). Most of the dead civilians were Iraqis, OSDH director Rami Abdulrahman said, adding that the strike was likely carried out by the international coalition under the command of the United States fighting the Islamic State or by Iraqi forces acting
Earlier in the morning, the Syrian public news agency SANA and the al-Watan newspaper, in favor of President Bashar al-Assad's regime, reported that the coalition was responsible for the strike. Nobody in the coalition could be reached in the immediate future
The coalition fights to defeat the last vestiges of the Islamic State in support of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an Arab-Kurdish alliance.
