France hits ISIS targets in Syria; Iranian military commander dies near Aleppo

The war in Syria grew more complex as French warplanes hit ISIS targets in Raqqa and the terror group killed an Iranian commander outside Aleppo.

The French military carried out airstrikes overnight against ISIS targets in Raqqa, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian tweeted Friday.

Last month, France announced it would expand its campaign against ISIS, which had been limited to Iraq, to include ISIS positions in Syria. France’s first strikes were carried out in late September.

Iranian state media reported Brig. Gen. Hossein Hamedani, a commander in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, was killed by ISIS extremists.
