Syria: U.S.-Led Airstrikes Reportedly Kill Over a Dozen Civilians in Recent Days
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, U.S.-led coalition airstrikes targeting ISIS militants in
Syria's Raqqa governorate continue to kill civilians. The journalistic
monitoring group Airwars says that on Friday a U.S.-led coalition
airstrike on a house reportedly killed at least five civilians, while
another strike that same day on an internet cafe reportedly killed at
least nine civilians, including three children. The following day, a
U.S.-led coalition airstrike reportedly killed at least seven civilians,
including six children, when the strike hit a boat on the Euphrates
River the family was traveling on. And on Sunday, a U.S. strike on a
market reportedly killed three civilians-a married couple and their son.
