(Worthy News) – A US-led coalition raid on Thursday targeted a suspected al Qaeda-affiliated jihadist in the northern Syrian town of Atmeh, resulting in several civilian casualties, said residents and sources with the rebels fighting against the Syrian government.
One resident said at least 12 people were killed in the raid that took place around midnight in a densely populated area near the border with Turkey, where tens of thousands of displaced Syrians live in makeshift camps or overcrowded housing.
There was no immediate reports of any jihadist being killed, but residents said they heard heavy gunfire during the operation, indicating resistance to the raid. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
