US Airstrikes Kill Civilians in Syria

According to the Defense Ministry of America, America hit ISIS stronghold in Syria.  This is the first direct military interfere of America since the beginning of the crisis in this war-torn countryIn a statement issued by the Defense Ministry of America, American officials declared that they have attacked ISIS targets inside Syria without informing Syrian government.

Before carrying out  airstrikes, Obama said that America would expand the scope of its attacks on Syria.  Therefore, this is the first time that America directly hit Syria under the excuse of fighting against ISIS terrorist group. At least 8 civilians were killed In America's illegal invasion on Syria.

Wall Street Journal reports, strikes hit Raqqa, while America and its some Arab allies are cooperating to act harshly against ISIS targets.  Pentagon confirmed that Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi, Jordan, and UAE have assisted America to hit at least twenty targets in Syria, whereas David Cameron, British prime minister, declared that British airplanes have not had any operation in Syria. 

  To hit ISIS targets in Syria, the consent of Syrian government or Security Council permission should be attained.  Accordingly, military operation in Syria seems the apparent violation of UN rules. Surprisingly, three days ago, Samantha Power, America's permanent representative to the United Nations, said that Washington has no need to take permission for its military measures.   In addition, she declared that the final objective of America in Syria is to strengthen the oppositions, indeed good terrorists, and to oust president Bashar al-Assad.
