The US-led coalition regularly carries out airstrikes and commits massacres under the pretext the fight against Daesh terrorist group.
Since it was illegally formed outside the jurisdiction of the U.N. Security Council in August 2014, under the pretext of fighting Daesh, the coalition has been committing massacres against innocent civilians, killing hundreds of people, injuring others and destroying infrastructure.
