354 Civilians Killed During the Combat Against ISIS

Over the past three years, unfortunately, the combat against ISIS has taken civilians lives. The Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve has estimated at least 352 civilians killed from the US-led attacks against ISIS. The task force then states " We regret the unintentional loss of civilian lives resulting from Coalition efforts to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria and express our deepest sympathies to the families and others affected by these strikes" The casualties of civilians have significantly increased to a total of 229 civilian deaths, counted at the end of February--and that's not all. Recently, its has estimated an additional 80 civilian deaths--a number that continues to grow as the fight against ISIS persist.
