Sputnik- According to local sources, the US warplanes targeted civilian homes in the village of al-Fadel, killing more than two dozen women and children and wounding many others.




Syria�s news agency SANA�reported, citing local sources that 25 people were killed in�the US-led airstrikes on�al-Fadel village near�the town of�al-Shaddadi in�the southern province of�Hasakah.


Since September 2014, the US-led coalition has been conducting aerial attacks against�what it describes as�Daesh* targets in�Syria without�a UN mandate or Damascus� authorization. The Syrian government has repeatedly accused the military alliance of�an illegal presence in�the war-ravaged country, with�the Ministry of�Foreign Affairs stating that the coalition was targeting and killing civilians, protecting terrorists instead.According to�reports by�a non-partisan monitoring group Airwars, from�6,136 up�to 9,315 civilians have died as�a result of�coalition strikes since�2014, while the US-led military alliance said that between�2014 and January 2018 its strikes killed �at least 841 civilians.�


The so-called Syria Observatory for�Human Rights, based in�London, reported in�November 2017 that 2,579 civilians, including 644 children and 470 women, were the victims of�US-led airstrikes in�Syria over�the past�38 months.
