Rabat – Air strikes carried out by unidentified aircraft killed at least 22 civilians, including 10 children, in a village held by the so-called Islamic State group in eastern Syria, a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the civilians were from two families at Hojna in Deir Ezzor, which borders Iraq and is the country’s second biggest province after Homs.
The oil-rich province of Deir Ezzor is almost totally under IS control and has been frequently targeted by a US-led military coalition.
So-called IS has carried out a series of attacks across Europe and has been targeted by military offensives on several fronts in Syria and Iraq, where it declared an Islamic “caliphate” in 2014.
