At least 16 civilians have been killed and 54 others injured in US-led coalition airstrikes on the Syrina village of al-Baghouz, the country’s news agency SANA reported on February 11.
The town, which is located in the Euphrates Valley, is currently in the area of operations by the US-led coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) against ISIS.
On Februray 10, the SDF announced the start of the final push to eliminate the ISIS-held pocket in the Euphrates Valley. Since then, the SDF has reported about multiple advances in the area and large casualties among ISIS members. The US-led coalition has reportedly conducted over 100 airstrikes.
However, the ISIS-held pocket has not been eliminated yet. Some sources say that the main reason is that the US-led coalition and the SDF are negotiating with ISIS to reach a kind of the deal.
BASTARDS
Yes, ISIS should let those go instead of using them as shields. Many of those wife are not even paid. What a wonderfull world.
What exactly you on about?
Sorry… I will try again.
If ISIS let the civilians go, those civilians would be alive – even detained at least 3 months.
I am sure all would be over there some time ago.
It’s worth noting that another source claimed that these 16 civilians were actually Daesh members but of course South Front wouldn’t dare mention that would they?
Nope, the Americunts kill women and children while Russia, Iran and SAA kill Americunt proxy terrorists. That is a fact Jack.
no.
Its also true but irrelevant , that a lot of the Baathist troops are no more Syrians at all.
According to war, You are in the old days. Wars still has infantery as probatly the most important part, but they should not be killed for nothing and random as well as often seen here – even named cowards if they dont.
Your socalled Syrian tigers has improved some, but anytime would be defeated by germans in the late WW2 by M4s and Panzer Grenadiers as well as their small heavy arms such as panzerfaust. And even those solduers then would be 93 to 98 years old.
On this one, I may go with Ed, excluding his criticism of SF.
I would have guessed that they were ISIS families, as all the civilians have left.
I do not understand you last point criticising SF. If you dont like it, don’t read it.
USA military is very good at killing civilians for their own agendas.USA wants to eliminate all arabs to make space for SDF-ISIS in Syria south and North.
If USA was like that that hard, there would not be a single left.
Americunt coward savages like their Zionist masters are dehumanized racist murderous scum who have no regard for human life at home or abroad. The bastards can’t fight so they drop bombs on women and children. They have killed millions around the world.
They protect their own soldiers from Your primitive version of war. where You dont care and just go home and make some extras for it.
You even blame those civilians for not participating fleeing from the madness and here we see ISIS using mainly their own wifes and children as shield – and isnt that enough they take on their jijabs and niqabs.
That is not muslim culture. If it is, it certainly need some cleaning.
You even send boys with small stones to fight heavy armed civilian soldiers and blame jews there for killing those forced muslims for it. This is not even Islam. You also destroy Your own wifes making so many children for something like that.
The ongoing reckless, stupid and criminal slaughter of innocent Civilians by US, UK, France & their cronies in the International Coalition murder-machine deserves Indictment & Prosecution before the International Criminal Court of the Perpetrators who sit supine in their offices in Washington, London & Paris comfortable in the ignorance of their oblivion.
