SOHR: US-led coalition hit Islamic State in Homs

The US-led coalition hit Islamic State group targets in Syria's central province of Homs for the first time Saturday as it pressed what Washington says are "near continuous" strikes, a monitoring group said.

The coalition also targeted IS in the town of Minbej, east of second city Aleppo, for the first time, as well as multiple targets in the Islamic State heartland province of Raqqa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
