Assad forces target civilians,
avoid ISIL strongholds in Raqqa
"At least 15 civilians were killed and several others were injured on Wednesday in the city of Raqqa during an unprecedented aerial bombardment by the Syrian air force.
The city is for more than a year controlled by the militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), however the strikes of the pro-Assad air force were only limited to residential neighbourhoods in the city.
Observers stress that the Assad regime avoids targeting ISIL strongholds in Raqqa."
