[ALMASDARNEWS] The US-led coalition is reportedly continuing  s in Syria, which, however, have not been authorized by the government of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad One of the last of the old-fashioned hereditary iron-fisted fascist dictators... or the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... The Syrian state news agency SANA has reported a new massacre allegedly committed by the US-led coalition in al-Bahra village in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which resulted in the killing of 16 civilians, including 9 women. According to the agency, citing its local sources, the coalition warplanes have conducted a series of airstrikes on residential areas about 45 km to the northwest of the city of al-Boukama near Deir ez-Zor, causing material damages. The media outlet stated that the corpse count was likely to rise, as the number of injured are at death's door after the strikes. The anti-ISIS coalition forces have been conducting airstrikes against the terror group in Syria and Iraq since 2014, acting in Syria without any request or authorization by the government of President Bashir al-Assad or the United Nations. Last month, SANA had reported another deadly airstrike by the coalition, claiming that fifteen civilians had been killed by the coalition’s actions. Following the US-led coalition’s actions on the ground, the Syrian Foreign Ministry on December 14 sent a letter to the UN Security Council and to the UN Secretary-General, accusing the coalition forces of killing civilians in the province of Deir Ez-Zor. The Syrian government blamed the coalition at the UN of making deals with the remnants of ISIS and coordinating its actions, as multiple reports appeared in the media that the US had evacuated ISIS gunnies and terrorist leaders from several areas across the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor.
