Coalition says strike kills 5 IS jihadists in Syria

A US-led coalition air strike killed five jihadists in eastern Syria on Monday, a spokesman said, in the first such raid since the collapse of the Islamic State group's "caliphate". "Coalition forces conducted a strike against a Daesh cell near Busayrah", a town in Deir Ezzor province, said coalition spokesman James Rawlinson, using an Arabic acronym for IS. The five jihadists were all Syrian, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor.
