Reports: U.S. Airstrikes Killed 30 People, Including a Dozen Children, in Syria
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says U.S. airstrikes
killed at least 30 people, including more than a dozen children, in
Syria's eastern province of Deir ez-Zor Monday. This comes after U.S.
airstrikes on May 11 reportedly killed at least a dozen civilians,
including eight children, north of the Syrian city of Raqqa. Two days
earlier, airstrikes on two villages around Raqqa reportedly killed 19
civilians, including at least five children.
