France said on Sunday it had launched air strikes
against Islamic State militants in Syria in an effort to stem its
growing presence there.
"Our country thus confirms
its resolute commitment to fight against the terrorist threat
represented by Daesh. We will strike each time that our national
security is at stake," the French Presidency said in a statement.
France,
which has so far only taken part in strikes in Iraq, began
reconnaissance flights over Syria earlier this month in order to gather
information on Islamic State positions.
