US-led airstrikes kill family in Syria
A couple and their five children were killed overnight in Syria's northern Aleppo province in strikes by the U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS, activists said Monday, according to AFP.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group, said the deaths raised to 148 the number of civilians killed in U.S.-led strikes in Syria since they began in September.
The Observatory said the family was killed in a coalition strike on the village of Daly Hassan, in the northeast of Aleppo province.
Their deaths "bring the number of Syrian civilians killed in coalition airstrikes since Sept. 23 to 148, including 48 children and 32 women," the group said.
In May, the Observatory reported at least 64 civilians - nearly half of them children - had been killed in U.S.-led airstrikes in the village of Birmahle in Aleppo province.
