France is sending its biggest warship to the Middle East after it pummelled ISIS's Raqqa stronghold in a joint bombing campaign with Russia.
Air strikes in Syria have killed at least 33 ISIS terrorists in three-days of attacks in northern Syria, it has emerged.
The
death toll was revealed as France sent the aircraft carrier Charles de
Gaulle, from its base in Toulon, southern France, to the Middle East to
support the mission.
Dozens
of jihadists have also been wounded in bombing raids which targeted
weapons depots, barracks and checkpoints in the ISIS stronghold of
Raqqa.
Dramatic
images of footage of first French and then Russian airstrikes showed
rockets hitting multiple targets. The latest Russian footage showed it
targeting an ISIS-held oil-processing facility among other buildings.
France
intensified strikes on Raqqa following last week's attacks in Paris
that left 129 dead, with warplanes carrying out dozens of attacks on
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
