Web Desk(July 14, 2018): An airstrike has killed at least 54 people in an Isis-held area of Syria near the border with Iraq, a war monitor has said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights as well as pro-Syrian government news outlets said the US-led coalition carried out the strike near the town of Al Bukamal, east of the Euphrates river, late on Thursday night. 
Sana, Syria’s state news agency, put the number of dead at 30 in bombings which hit the villages of al Sousa and al Baghouz Fawkani on the river’s banks. In al Sousa, it is believed the strike hit families using an old ice factory as shelter. 
Isis militants are also believed to be among the death toll.
