France conducted missile strikes in Syria over the weekend, targeting locations associated with the Islamic State, as announced by French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Tuesday.
“On Sunday, French air forces executed precise strikes against Islamic State positions within Syrian territory,” Lecornu stated on the social media platform X.
This airstrike by France came shortly after a similar operation by the United States, which reported the elimination of two Islamic State operatives.
Syria is now confronted with an uncertain political landscape following the ousting of former President Bashar al-Assad by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group on December 8.
The rapid campaign led by HTS concluded a 13-year civil war, yet it has raised numerous questions regarding the future of this multi-ethnic nation, where foreign powers such as Turkey and Russia hold significant and potentially conflicting interests.
