Air strikes hit four Syrian provinces

The US-led coalition has carried out several air strikes targeting Islamic State group positions in northern and eastern Syria, activists said today.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the overnight raids took place in four provinces: Aleppo, Raqqa, Hassakeh and Deir el-Zour. The entrance to Syria’s largest gas plant, Conoco in Deir el-Zour, was among the targets.
