Activists say abandoned ISIL bases hit in city suburbs with no civilians or fighters as France carries out air strikes.
French defense
officials say that, for the second time in less than 24 hours, fighter
jets have targeted Raqqa, the de-facto capital of the Islamic State of Iraq and
the Levant (ISIL) in northern Syria.
Ten Rafale and Mirage
2000 fighters carried out the raid early in the morning, dropping 16 bombs, the
defence ministry said on Tuesday, as France hits back at ISIL in retaliation
for Friday's Paris attacks that killed at least 129 people and injured
hundreds more.
"Both targets were
hit and destroyed concurrently," the ministry said.
"Conducted in
coordination with US forces, the raid was aimed at sites identified during
reconnaissance missions previously carried out by France."
