French jets bomb Syria in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa

This article is about France bombing an ISIS stronghold on Sunday after they had claimed responsibility for the multiple terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday. The stronghold was in ISIS’s self-proclaimed capital, Raqqa, Syria. The attack included twelve aircrafts, where twenty bombs were dropped and all the targets that France was after were destroyed. However, ISIS has been expecting retaliation so they had evacuated all of their key buildings, causing there to be no casualties during the airstrike. As part of a collaboration with the U.S., France has been directing airstrikes against ISIS since September, but because of the bombings in Paris, the French believe that it is an act of war.
The recent attack in Paris has brought the entire world on alert as ISIS has claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack. In addition to the airstrikes in Syria, the violent acts were continued; as ISIS will not be stopped until action is taken and justified consequences are established for the terrorists responsible for the attacks. I believe the airstrikes by the French was justified retaliation in response to the event in Paris. Although the airstrikes had been in commission since September, the moment for action for the French was now because of the “act of war” from this past Friday. While ISIS has been active for well over a year now, it has just recently broke into the media of the world and I conclude this will initiate a cascading series of attacks via ISIS and global superpowers.
