Syria: At Least 10 Civilians Reportedly Killed in U.S.-Led Airstrikes in Raqqa
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, the local journalistic monitoring group Raqqa Is Being
Slaughtered Silently reports at least 10 civilians from the same family
have been killed amid a barrage of more than 100 U.S.-led airstrikes
over the last two days. A top-ranking commander of the U.S.-backed
Syrian Democratic Forces says the battle to seize control of Raqqa from
ISIS is expected to last up to another two months.
