French jets launched their biggest raid in Syria to date, targeting the Islamic State’s stronghold in Raqqa just days after the group claimed coordinated attacks in Paris that killed more than 130 people.
The French Air Force raid was its largest airstrike of the bombing campaign sending 12 planes, including 10 fighters, that dropped 20 bombs in training camps and ammunition facilities in Raqqa, the de-facto capital of Islamic State.
French foreign minister Laurent Fabius said France had the “legitimacy” to take action against IS after the terror attacks in Paris.
i think, combat troops needed in this effort against isis
well done French Airforce !!
I am not too sure that this is not exactly what the terrorists wanted and will send more tens of thousands of people fleeing.
This is what happens when war is declared. There are no boundaries and no more Mr nice guy. And where are the Russian, American , and the awfully polite British Air forces.? In respect of thousands more leaving the country they better think again. Fight back for your country the running is at an end.
They are there too, did you not hear about jihad John being obliterated?
Yes but the media make it appear it’s only French. Typical news preference.
The targets had already been identified and we’re going to be hit anyway.
