A Syrian activist group says airstrikes on
the northern Syrian city of Raqqa and its outskirts over the past three days
have killed at least 33 fighters with the Islamic State group.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights says the fighters were mostly killed when their checkpoints were
attacked by French and other warplanes.
France has launched waves of airstrikes
against the IS group following attacks that killed at least 129 people in Paris
on Friday. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the Paris
attacks.
The Observatory said on Wednesday that more
IS fighters are believed to have been killed in the strikes, but their bodies
were so severely dismembered it wasn't possible to give an estimated figure.
