US-led strikes have killed 2,079 people in Syria

Air strikes by the US-led coalition in Syria have killed 2,079 people, including 66 civilians, since the start of the aerial campaign against Islamic State militants last September, a group monitoring the war said on Thursday.

 

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a majority of the deaths, some 1,922, were Islamic State fighters.

 

The hardline group has seized tracts of territory in Syria and neighbouring Iraq, where it has also been targeted by US-led forces since last July.
