Airstrike on IS-held area in Eastern Syria kills 20
[Ynet] An  hit bully boyz and civilians trying to flee the last area controlled by the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group in eastern Syria on Friday, killing at least 20, the country's state media and opposition activists reported. The airstrike on the IS-held village of Baghouz comes as the offensive against the holy warriors by U.S.-backed fighters of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces has intensified over the past few weeks. It also comes as the United States' begins the process of withdrawal from Syria. Thousands of civilians have fled from the area near the Iraqi border recently as IS has steadily lost ground.
