said on Friday eight civilians likely were killed and three wounded in
air strikes against Islamic State targets in Iraq and Syria between

It was only the third time since the start of the
U.S.-led air campaign against Islamic State in 2014 that the
U.S.
military’s Central Commander has disclosed civilian casualties following
its internal investigations.
It has previously reported a total of six civilian deaths in its air campaign.
U.S. military data shows there have been 9,627 U.S.-led
coalition air strikes as of Jan. 13, with 6,393 in Iraq and 3,234 in
