Reports from Northern Syria say 23 civilians have been killed in an airstrike in a village held by Islamic State militants. Earlier a US-backed alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters said it was relaunching its campaign against IS in the region. Alan Johnston reports.

來自敘利亞北部的報道稱，有23名平民在伊斯蘭國武裝控制的小鎮(zhèn)中喪生于一場空襲之中。早前一支由美國支持的庫爾德和阿拉伯武裝力量稱其在該地區(qū)重新開啟了對伊斯蘭國的打擊。艾倫•約翰斯頓報道。

The US-backed alliance known as the Syrian Democratic Forces has driven the Islamic State group out of As Suwayda of northern Syria. But when the militants appear to be on the verge of final defeat in January, the SDF paused its campaign. It was distracted by a Turkish army invasion of northwestern Syria. But now the alliance says it has reorganised its ranks and is ready to resume its efforts to drive IS out of small areas it holds near the Iraqi frontier.

由美國支持的聯盟—敘利亞民主力量已將伊斯蘭國武裝驅逐出敘利亞北部的蘇韋達省。但是在一月份，當伊斯蘭國武裝分子即將潰敗之時，敘利亞民主力量卻中止了對它的打擊。而將注意力轉移到了應對入侵敘利亞西北部的土耳其軍隊上。而現在，聯盟稱其完成了重組，準備將IS驅逐出靠近伊拉克邊境小區(qū)域。
