‘1,600 IS men killed in coalition strikes so far’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS-led airstrikes against the Islamic State group in Syria have killed more than 1,600 people, mainly jihadists, since they began five months ago, a monitor said on Monday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said almost all of those killed were jihadists from IS and al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate al-Nusra Front, though it also documented the deaths of 62 civilians.
The Britain-based monitor said the strikes that began on September 23 had killed 1,465 members of the Islamic State group, most of them non-Syrians.
Another 73 fighters from al-Nusra Front were killed, along with a man from a rebel group being held prisoner by IS in the group’s de facto capital Raqaa.
