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.
