France Pounds IS Stronghold With 20 Bombs

French fighter planes have carried out their biggest bombing raid in Syria by dropping 20 bombs on the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa. The bombers hit a jihadi recruitment centre, training camp and arms depot run by the extremist group, according to the French defence ministry.
A spokesman described it as a "massive" attack and France's biggest to date in Syria.
More than 30 explosions were reportedly heard across the city.
The strikes hit military targets on the northern and southern edges of the city and no civilians were killed, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
