Four Syrian soldiers die in suspected US coalition strike

BEIRUT, - An air strike believed to have been carried out by the US-led coalition killed four Syrian military personnel in Deir al Zor province, which is mostly held by Islamic State, a monitoring group said on Monday, in what would be the first time coalition warplanes had hit Syrian government forces.
A source close to the Syrian government confirmed the strike and said there had been casualties and vehicles destroyed.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike hit part of the Saeqa military camp near the town of Ayyash in western Deir al Zor province and wounded 13 military personnel in the first such incident since the coalition began its bombing campaign against Islamic State in Syria.
The strike had hit some time in the last 24 hours, it said.
