(Zaman Al Wasl)- Ten civilians killed in the U.S.-led air strikes on the western countryside of Hasakah, local activists said Wednesday .
The strikes have targeted a vehicle carrying civilians were heading a funeral in the village of Jayer west of Hasakah city.
In the southern countryside, clashes have renewed between the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces and ISIS near al-Howl town, activist Malath al-Yousef told Zaman al-Wasl, as SDF seeks to capture new ground taking advantage of the international coalition.
Colonel Steve Warren, a U.S. military spokesman, said on Wednesday that U.S.-led air strikes on Islamic State cash storage sites have cost the militant group hundreds of millions of dollars, according to Reuters.
The United States is trying to cut revenue to Islamic State - believed to be one of the best-funded militant groups in the world - through air strikes targeting its oil production as well as cash storage sites.
As of mid-January, the U.S.-led coalition had struck 10 Islamic State cash storage and distribution sites in Iraq and Syria, Warren said last month.
