The UK-based monitoring group added that the overall corpse count was likely to rise. Since September 2014, the US along with some of its allies has been conducting air raids against what are said to be the Daesh [Islamic State] Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... snuffies inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate. The air assaults in Syria are an extension of the US-led aerial campaign against purported Daesh [Islamic State] positions in Iraq, which started in August 2014. The US-led strikes have killed scores of civilians in Syria ever since. |
