According to the French Defence Ministry, ten warplanes dropped twenty guided bombs on four IS targets in Raqqa, which is the headquarters of IS in Syria.

The French government has confiscated the personal documents of six local citizens on account of their planned trips to Syria on Monday.

The passports and other personal documents will be held for six months initially, but the term could be further extended if needed, as reported by the Bulgarian National radio.

France deployed an aircraft carrier in the Gulf on Feb. 23 as part of the US-led military campaign against the Islamic Stateof Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a defence ministry official said.
