Dozens of ISIS terrorists were killed on Saturday in a US-backed coalition strikes in eastern Syria, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Twenty-eight ISIS members were killed in air strikes by the US-led coalition around the town of Hajin and another seven were killed in ground fighting with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The SDF had launched a coalition-backed offensive against the ISIS-held pocket in the Euphrates Valley last month.
Fighting has killed 414 terrorists and 227 SDF fighters in total since the assault began on September 10, the Observatory said.
Coalition air strikes on ISIS targets in another part of the pocket on Thursday and Friday killed at least 41 civilians, 10 of them children, the monitor said.
ISIS overran large swathes of Syria and neighboring Iraq in 2014. But the group has since lost most of its territory to various offensives in both countries.
In Syria, its presence has been reduced to parts of the vast Badia desert and the Hajin pocket in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor near the Iraqi border.
