Alwaght- The US-led international coalition warplanes targeted al-Safawi village in the southeastern countryside of Hasaka province, killing and injuring at least five civilians.
According to local media sources, the US-led warplanes struck citizens’ houses in the village on Friday, claiming the lives of three civilians, including a child, and severely wounding two others.
The sources added that the coalition attack resulted in huge material damage to the citizens’ houses and private properties.
The international coalition has escalated its airstrikes against civilians in the Eastern Region over the past ten days and committed four massacres killing at least 69 civilians and injuring dozens in Dhahret al-Allouni, al-Sh’afeh and al-Bahra in Deir Ezzor countryside.
Earlier this week, Syria once again called on the UN Security Council acts to stop the war crimes committed by the US-led alliance against the Syrian people.
In a letter addressed on Tuesday to the UN Secretary-General and the head of the Security Council, Syrian Foreign Ministry asserted that the US-led alliance continues to persist in committing massacres against the Syrian people and supporting the remnants of ISIS terror group.
The letter said that the US-led alliance committed two new massacres against Syrian civilians on Sunday February 25th, 2019, when its warplanes bombarded the homes of civilians in al-Shaafa and Dhahret Alouni villages in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor province, martyring 29 civilians and inflicting severe injuries on tens of others, most of them women and children, in addition to causing damage to civilians’ homes, properties, and infrastructure in the villages.
The US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be ISIS targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.
