Damascus, July 30 (RHC)-- More than a dozen civilians have lost their lives and many more sustained injuries when fighter jets from the U.S.-led military coalition launched airstrikes against purported positions of the Takfiri Daesh militant group in Syria’s strategic northern province of Aleppo.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that the airborne attacks struck the town of Ghandour, leaving at least 15 civilians dead and dozens of others wounded.

The U.S.-led military coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be the Daesh terrorists inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from Damascus or a United Nations mandate. Washington and its allies have repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians in their attacks on Syria. And the coalition has also been largely incapable of fulfilling its declared aim of destroying Daesh.

The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in an earlier statement that French warplanes had struck a village north of Manbij, killing 120 civilians. Scores of other civilians remain unaccounted for following the attack.

In yet another attack, at least 30 civilians lost their lives when the so-called U.S.-led coalition launched an aerial attack in Manbij last month. Eleven Syrian children were reportedly among the victims.
