French warplanes ‘hit Daesh positions in Syria’s Raqqah’

French warplanes have conducted new combat sorties against the purported positions of the Takfiri Daesh terrorists in Syria’s northern city of Raqqah, France’s Defense Ministry says.

“For the second time in 24 hours, the French military conducted an air raid against Daesh in Raqqah in Syria,” the ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

It added that ten Rafale and Mirage 2000 warplanes dropped 16 bombs on what it said was a Daesh training camp and a command center, adding that the targets “were hit and destroyed simultaneously.”

The French warplanes carried out their first strikes against alleged Daesh positions in Raqqah on Sunday, when a training camp and a command post belonging to the Takfiri group were destroyed.
