More Civilians Killed in Fresh US Air Raids in Eastern Syria

The Arabic-language al-Manar TV Channel reported that the US warplanes bombed again the town of Hajin in Southeastern Deir Ezzur, killing 10 civilians, including women and children.

In the meantime, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that the death toll of the coalition airstrikes on the towns of Hajin and al-Shafa'ah in Southeastern Deir Ezzur on Saturday has increased to 44.  

Local sources said on Saturday that the US warplanes carried out several combat sorties over the small towns of Hajin and al-Shafa'ah in Southeastern Deir Ezzur, adding that at least 33 civilians, mostly women and children were killed and tens more were wounded in the attack that also destroyed a number of residential units.

The sources further said that death toll will possibly rise as the warplanes continue attacking and taking out the injured from under the debris of ruined buildings is being done slowly.
