France conducts largest strike on Islamic State positions to date

French fighter jets bombarded Islamic State positions on Sunday in what is seen as a direct response to the terror attacks in Paris on Friday night.

France vowed to destroy Islamic state following Friday’s attacks, after Islamic State claimed responsibility for the terror attacks in Paris, which saw suicide bombings and shootings across the French Capital.

In a statement released on Sunday, describing the biggest French attack on Islamic State positions to date, the Ministry of Defence said,

“The Raid.. including 10 fighter jets, was launched simultaneously form the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. Twenty bombs were dropped.”
