The French military has carried out its first airstrikes against ISIS in Syria, according to a statement from the office of France's presidency.
The country had announced earlier this month that it would expand its aerial campaign against ISIS in Iraq -- which it began a year ago -- to include the militant group's positions in Syria.
The French president's office said that the strikes in Syria, which began Sunday, were based on intelligence gathered from air surveillance operations conducted over Syria during the past two weeks.
"Our country confirms its firm commitment to the fight against the terrorist threat Daesh (ISIS). We will strike whenever our national security is at stake," the statement read.

and who is fighting with the Saudis and indirectly with the US against the Houti rebels? ISIS. It seems like they hate the US so much that they cannot help but support them.
Also you wonder why the US is assisting in fight against a deposed dictator? In Ukraine, we were told that if leader runs away from his country, he is no longer the leader but somehow, we want this guy to be reinstated.
