The “massive” operation pounded sites in and around the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa, and involved 12 aircraft — including 10 fighter jets — launched simultaneously from bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates, a French official said.

The air fleet dropped 20 bombs in total. One target was used as a “command post, jihadist recruitment center and arms and munitions depot,” the French Defense Ministry said in a statement.

A second target “held a terrorist training camp,” it said.

ISIS insisted it suffered no casualties and said the 20 targets were “abandoned sites,”the Guardian reported.

Meanwhile, an international manhunt was under way for a suspected eighth attacker, who escaped the three hours of carnage that killed 129 people at six sites in and around Paris on Friday.
