Syria: Civilians Die in Russian, Syrian and U.S.-Led Coalition Airstrikes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Syria, anti-government forces say at least 152 civilians were killed
and dozens more injured in opposition-held parts of Idlib province over
the last week, saying Syrian and Russian warplanes bombed six hospitals,
five civil defense centers, power stations and camps for displaced
civilians. Meanwhile, fighting continues to rage in the city of Raqqa,
where a Kurdish commander said Thursday ISIS is cornered and "breathing
its last gasps." The journalistic monitoring group Airwars reports
U.S.-led coalition attacks have killed at least 61 civilians in Raqqa
since Saturday, including a young child, described as the son of Osama
Kadoor, and Sa'id Mohammed al-Sa'id, a father of six.
