TEHRAN, November 04 - At least 14 civilians were killed Saturday in US-led coalition air strikes on the Islamic State group's last holdout in eastern Syria, a monitor said.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - "Fourteen civilians, including five children under the age of 18, were killed in the coalition air raids on the villages of Hajin, Sousa and Al-Shaafa" in eastern Deir Ezzor province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"The death toll is likely to rise due to the number of seriously wounded," Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
At least 9 IS members were killed in the raids, he added.
The coalition was not immediately available for comment.
Strikes on the area intensified following an attempted extremist attack on a coalition base in the nearby village of Al-Bahra, the Britain-based monitor said.
