Hollande: France carries out first air strikes


French jets carried out their first air strikes against the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (ISIS) militants in Iraq Friday, successfully destroying their target, President Francois Hollande announced, vowing that more operations would follow."This morning at 9:40, our Rafale planes carried out a first strike against a logistics depot of the terrorist organisation Daesh in north-east Iraq. The objective was hit and completely destroyed," Hollande's office said in a statement, using an alternative name for the ISIS group.
