Syria: 18 Civilians Reportedly Killed Amid U.S.-Led Offensive in Raqqa
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, U.S.-led coalition airstrikes and shelling by U.S.-backed
troops reportedly killed at least 18 civilians in the city of Raqqa on
Tuesday. That's according to the local journalistic group Raqqa Is Being
Slaughtered Silently, which says the U.S.-led coalition launched more
than 40 airstrikes over the last two days as part of the ongoing
campaign to seize control of the city from ISIS.
