The anti-ISIS, (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria), coalition launched an airstrike on Al-Qaim town near the Iraqi border, killing at least 17 Islamic State militants and 9 civilians overnight, a hospital source said Thursday. The twenty-nine ISIS militants who were wounded in the strike that targeted Al-Rumana and Husaiba, were taken across the border to Syria for treatment. In another development, coalition planes bombed Al-Rutba district, 385 kilometers west of Baghdad, killing six Islamic State, (IS), militants and 11 civilians, according to a source at the local hospital. Reporting the incident, the IS daily radio broadcast, Al-Bayan, used its pejorative term to refer to the anti-Islamic State coalition and announced that the "Crusader Safavid" air strikes near Al-Qaim - 330 km northwest of Baghdad - had killed three civilians and wounded several others, including women and children.
