Iran Describes French Raids on Syria Village as “Against Int’l Norms”

In a statement, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the attacks were “unacceptable”, and added, “Bombing and killing innocent people, especially women and children, with any aim or under any pretext is unacceptable, condemned and against inteational norms.”

The statement came as Syria’s Foreign Ministry said French warplanes targeted the village of Tukhar near the city of Manbij in the province of Aleppo, killing at least 120 civilians.

The ministry added that scores of other civilians remain unaccounted for following the attack.

According to the ministry, the fatalities came a day after a US airstrike killed at least 20 civilians in Manbij.
