472 civilians dead in month of US-led Syria strikes: monitor

US-led coalition air strikes on two Syrian provinces targeting jihadists have killed 472 civilians over the past month, a monitor said Friday, more than double a previous 30-day toll.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the period between May 23 and June 23 saw the highest civilian death toll in coalition raids for a single month since they began on September 23, 2014.

Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said 222 civilians, including 84 children, were killed in the largely Islamic State group-held province of Deir Ezzor.

Another 250 civilians, including 53 children, were killed in Raqa province, where US-backed forces are trying to oust IS jihadists from their bastion Raqa city.

He told AFP that the new deaths brought the overall civilian toll from the coalition's campaign to 1,953, including 456 children and 333 women.

The previous deadliest 30-day period was between April 23 and May 23 this year that cost 225 civilian lives.

The coalition insists it takes every measure to avoid hitting civilians, including by aborting missile strikes at the last moment if a civilian unexpectedly wanders into the target zone.

When Russia, Syria kills civilians in airstrikes = it is bad, a crime

When West kills civilians in airstrikes = it's nothing special, it was an accident

If you live in or around military assets, in or out of war, you may become a casualty as the 68 civilians that died in the pearl harbor attack.

Problem is that the assets move in next to you or into your house.

The difference is it is very clear the United States and her allies actively try to avoid killing civilians. Russia and her allies don't.

I agree with the first sentence and disagree with the second.

Watch that entire video and if you still think "glass the region", then you are less than complete as a human being. Work on that.

Obama was very discrete and Americans avoided killing civilians. They had a reputation for this.

Trump overturned that because "Muh Obama" and now American jets don't have a reputation for avoiding civilian casualties anymore.

Which is more likely than not breeding some very angry people who have lost family members.

Another one of Trump's golden hits caused by his irrational hatred for Obama and his own stupidity.
