At least 15 civilians dead in Syria coalition air raids: Monitor

Beirut: At least 15 civilians were killed in US-led coalition air strikes on Tuesday on a town in northeast Syria held by the Islamic State jihadist group, a monitor said.

"At least 15 civilians were killed and 20 wounded in coalition air strikes on Al-Shadadi" in the northeastern province of Hasakeh controlled by IS, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, adding that the death toll was likely to rise.
