French launch series of 'massive' air strikes on Isis targets in Raqqa including jihadi recruitment centre and training camp

  • French jets carried out 'massive' bombing in ISIS held city of Raqqa, Syria 
  • Ten fighter jets dropped twenty bombs destroying ISIS command centre and jihadi training camp in Syria 
  • French jets took off from air bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates 
  • Heavy bombing raid comes just two days after horrific attacks in Paris
  • 128 people were killed by seven gunmen late last Friday night  

French fighter jets have carried out a series of 'massive' air strikes on Raqqa, destroying a key ISIS command centre and a training camp in Syria.
The heavy bombing raid comes just two days after the militant group claimed coordinated attacks in Paris that killed 128 people, the defence ministry said.
'The raid ... including 10 fighter jets, was launched simultaneously from the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Twenty bombs were dropped,' the statement said. 

France's strong approach to counter attacking ISIS in Syria has reportedly led to the destruction of a key jihadi recruitment centre and a training camp 
The operation, carried out in coordination with U.S. forces, struck a command centre, recruitment centre for jihadists, a munitions depot and a training camp for fighters, it said.
Activists inside Syria have suggested that no civilian casualties have been sustained in the Raqqa bombings. 
Water supplies and electricity have reportedly been cut as a result of the air strikes, with activists claiming there has been 'panic' inside the city.
