Syria: Coalition bombing kills at least 56 civilians


Mostly women and children reportedly killed in coalition
air strikes on ISIL-held northern Syrian town.


At least 56 civilians, including 11 children, have been killed in US-led air strikes against areas in Syria held by the Islamic State of Syria and the Levant group (ISIL, also known as ISIS), a monitoring group said.

Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan, reporting from Washinton, said that at least one town near the city of Manbij was allegedly hit by a coalition strike and that many of the casualties were reportedly women and children.

Activists say the death told could be as high as 125.

Listening to al-Sadr et al suddenly makes more sense- for the thousands of family, extended family, friends and supporters of the victims.

Excuses ? They really don't want to hear them.
 
Manbij is full of residents, a quarter of a million residents, used by ISIL as human shields. Yesterday the coalition struck Al Zahuna neighbourhood, where more than 23 people were killed. Then it struck the western gate of the city, killing 6 people."
typical ISIL tactics. Remember that hospital Russia blew up?

The latest string of attacks on health facilities north of Aleppo appears to be part of a pattern of attacks on medics and hospitals, a strategy that has destroyed scores of medical facilities and killed hundreds of doctors and nurses since the start of the conflict.”

The organization has gathered compelling evidence of at least six deliberate attacks on hospitals, medical centres and clinics in the northern part of the Aleppo Countryside governorate in the past 12 weeks. The attacks, which killed at least three civilians including a medical worker, and injured 44 more, continue a pattern of targeting health facilities in various parts of Syria which amounts to war crimes.

No excuses from you then- just some foggy ' precedent '.

The US lost its moral authority years ago.

That Obama Administration sure is a bunch of fuckups....
 
Is that why you want to kill them? :)

if they are terrorists sure :)

see in a lot of ways muslims are more progressive than us. We recently just included women in combat positions while they have been using women and children as fighters, suicide bombers, and living shields for the longest time

Quit lying. You want to kill them all. You think everyone with brown skin is a terrorist. :)
 
Russia's airstrike on a Syrian hospital was no accident. It was a cold-blooded, targeted attack

This was no accident. Four rockets hit the hospital: it was a targeted attack, and a cold-blooded one too.

Between each rocket the forces waited 15 minutes. This "double-tap" tactic, also employed by US drone strikes in the conflict, allows locals to gather at the targeted site and help the casualties, before unleashing its next bomb.
