Washington A newly released report charges that the US-led coalition killed more than 1,600 civilians in Raqqa over the course of several months in 2017 during its campaign to eradicate ISIS from the Syrian city.
The report, released Thursday by Amnesty International and Airwars, found that US, UK and French airstrikes and US artillery strikes killed or injured thousands of civilians from June to October 2017.A coalition analysis of civilian casualties does not match the report's findings."Many of the cases documented by Amnesty International likely amount to violations of international humanitarian law and warrant further investigation," the report states.
