French Airstrikes Against ISIL in Syria to Deepen EU Refugee Crisis
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — "Two Rafale [aircraft] bombed an [ISIL] training camp. The targets have been hit," Le Drian told local Europa 1 radio station.

The minister stated that, "it is not the first time, it is not the last time," French aircraft have bombed the terrorists in Syria.

Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011. The country’s government forces are fighting a number of opposition groups, as well as radical Islamist militant organizations, including the Nusra Front and ISIL.

In late September, France conducted its first airstrikes in Syria as part of a US-led international coalition that has been targeting ISIL position in Syria, as well as in Iraq, since 2014.
