The Syrian Observatory for Human rights claims that at least twenty-five civilians were killed and dozens of others wounded in an airstrike on the Syrian city of Raqqa.<br /><br /> It said that it was not immediately able to determine who carried out Tuesday’s raid. <br /><br /> It added that ISIL fighters had pushed Syrian government forces some 40 kilometers from Tabqa, an area west of Raqqa. <br /><br /> The ISIL-linked Aamaq news agency posted video footage purporting to show the group in control of Syria’s Thawra oil field. <br /><br /> Aamaq said the group seized a Syrian army checkpoint near a strategic junction leading to Raqqa city that Syrian government forces and their allies had previously seized.<br /><br /> The footage was provided by Associated Press who can not verify the date and authenticity.<br />
