Strikes kill 23 civilians in IS-held area in Syria: monitor

Air strikes killed at least 23 civilians including 10 children in a village held by the Islamic State group in northeastern Syria Tuesday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor said. "We don't know for the moment if the US-led international coalition or Iraqi forces carried out the strike" on the village of Al-Qasr in Hasakeh province, the Observatory said. The US-led coalition, which is backing a Kurdish-Arab alliance fighting IS near Syria's eastern border with Iraq, denied it carried out the strikes.
