7 children among 16 killed in Syria strike on IS holdout

US-led coalition air strikes on the last jihadist pocket in Syria on Monday killed 16 civilians, including at least seven children, a war monitor says.

Nineteen fighters from the Islamic State group were also killed in clashes with the coalition-backed Kurdish-led force spearheading the offensive against the jihadists, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says.
