1,257 Civilians Killed in Anti-ISIS Strikes
The coalition in a statement released the civilian
death toll from the period between when the aerial campaign began in August
2014 until February this year.
It comes just days after the US-backed Kurdish-led
Syrian Democratic Forces announced it defeated ISIS in the last area it held in
Syria in the village of Baghouz near the Iraqi border.
The coalition's statement said: "We continue to
employ thorough and deliberate targeting and strike processes to minimize the
impact of our operations on civilian populations and infrastructure."
It added that the death toll was based on
information available to the coalition.
