The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the war in Syria, said at least 70 Islamic State fighters were killed in strikes that hit at least 50 targets in the provinces of Raqqa, Deir al-Zor and Hasakah.

It said at least 50 fighters and eight civilians were killed in strikes targeting al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front, in northern Aleppo and Idlib provinces, apparently referring to the strikes the Americans said targeted Khorasan. The Observatory said most of the Nusra Front fighters killed were not Syrians.

Airstrikes on Islamic State Cause Mixed Emotions Among Syrian Refugees: Fears that Islamic State Could Emerge Stronger if the U.S.-led Strikes Don't Deliver a Knockout Blow

Many Syrians from Raqqa have fled to Sanliurfa, but the news of the strikes generated mixed emotions.

Shirin Muslim, who fled of Raqqa that was bombed by U.S. warplanes early Tuesday, welled up when asked to describe her reaction. Her family left Raqqa—once one of Syria's wealthiest and more progressive cities and now the Islamic State's stronghold—almost two years ago, after state security forces clashed with opposition rebels.

"Syria is my country and it's terrible to see it being bombed by other countries. I don't think this will bring a solution, we still need a third party to negotiate all parties, with Assad and the opposition," Mr. Muslim said.
