Report: U.S.-Led Airstrikes in Syria Kill 100+ Civilians, Including 47 Children
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, a monitoring group says U.S.-led airstrikes killed more than
100 civilians-including 47 children-on Thursday and Friday in the
ISIS-held town of Al Mayadeen in eastern Syria. The Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights says the two rounds of strikes targeted the families of
ISIS fighters and that the vast majority of the victims were civilian
women and their children. The U.S.-led coalition has acknowledged
launching the airstrikes on the town.
