The US led coalition has continued its crimes against the Syrians, targeting a in Hasaka claiming the lives of six civilians.

Alwaght- The US led coalition has continued its crimes against Syrian people, killing six civilians in village of Kashkash Jabbour in Hasaka.

Local sources told SANA that warplanes of the US-led coalition bombed on Wednesday the houses of Kashkash Jabbour village, south of al-Shaddadi city in the southern countryside of Hasaka, killing six civilians, including women.

Last month, The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said US airstrikes on two Syrian provinces killed 472 civilians May, more than double a previous 30-day toll.

The London-based observatory said the period between May 23 and June 23 saw the highest civilian death toll in US airstrikes since they began in September 2014.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday a UK-based monitoring group announced that at least 744 civilians have been killed in US airstrikes in Iraq and Syria last month.

Airwars, a London-based independent group of researchers and journalists, stressed that the number of concurrent airstrikes on Raqqah in Syria and Mosul in Iraq was "devastating." 

The toll is subsequently higher than the 603 civilians the US military claims were killed since it began its anti-terror operations in the region in 2014.

Airwars noted that between 529 and 744 of the civilians were killed in June, which marks a 50-percent increase from the previous month's tally.

Syria has blamed the US-led coalition for violating international law and the country’s sovereignty, by carrying out airstrikes without authorization from Damascus. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has also on several occasions condemned the West's illegal invasion of his country without authorization from Damascus or the UN.  The US claims it is engaged in fighting terrorists in Syria an assertion rejected by Damascus.

The Syrian government has repeatedly accused the US and some European countries including France and Britain of collaborating with some of their regional allies especially Saudi Arabia in arming and funding different terrorist groups in the country.
