France launched a massive air attack against the Islamic State on Sunday by dropping bombs on Raqqa, Syria, the group's de facto capital.

The airstrikes come after Friday's terrorist attacks across Paris, which killed at least 129 people.

French military planes dropped 20 bombs on Islamic State targets within an hour. France destroyed an Islamic State command and recruiting center that also served as a weapons depot, as well as a training center for jihadists.
