(Zaman Al Wasl)- Local activists said on Wednesday that at least 9 civilians were killed in air strikes carried out by a U.S.-led coalition in Hasaka province in northeast Syria.
The strikes hit the ISIS-held town of Abu Hamedha in the southern countryside near the Iraqi border.

The United States and its allies are carrying out air raids in the area against Islamic State, which controls small pockets of Hasaka province.
Also in Hasak, powerful Kurdish PYD militia allowed 50 displaced families to return back home in the village of Tel Hamam.
After three years of displacement, people of Tel Hamam arrived the village. The Democratic Union Party (PYD) said the delay was due to security and military reasons.
The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces seized the village after clearing it from the radical Daesh group. But its fighters stayed in it for almost a year before leaving to Shaitat area in Deir Ezzor province.
The PYD has allowed about 2000 Arab families to return to their villages in al-Haul and Tel Brack in the eastern countryside of Hasaka.
Human rights activists accused the Kurdish militias of following a demographic change in northeastern Syria.
