(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 17 people, including 9 Daesh militants were killed in the US-led coalition airstrikes in eastern Deir Ezzor province, local sources said Friday.
The strikes targeted the town of al-Sha'fah near the Iraqi border.
The US-led attack failed to rule out civilian casualties as 8 people were killed.
The U.S.-led airstrikes have killed more than 2000 civilians and have displaced thousands more since 2015, according to the United Nations.
The Syrian Democratic Forces, which the Kurdish YPG militia spearheads, has been the main partner of the U.S.-led coalition against Islamic State in Syria, helping drive the jihadists out of swathes of northern and eastern Syria last year.
