Deir Ezzor, SANA

The warplanes of the US-led “international coalition” that claims to be finding Daesh (ISIS) bombarded al-Baghouz farms area in Deir Ezzor’s eastern countryside with internationally-prohibited white phosphorus bombs.

Local sources in Deir Ezzor said the warplanes of the coalition fired white phosphorus bombs at al-Baghouz farms area near the Syrian-Iraqi borders east of al-Bukamal city under the pretext of fighting Daesh, which puts the lives of hundreds of civilians and abductees detained by the terrorist organization at risk.

The sources said that the presence of SDF militias and US occupation forces in the area, which hinder the movement of civilians in neighboring areas, prevents verifying the number of victims among civilians due to the attack.
