The British government has described the UK’s first airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria as ‘successful’ The bombing came just hours after the parliament approved the strikes on Wednesday night after a long and sometimes heated argument in the House of Commons.
Four Royal Air Force Tornados took off from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus to take part in the operation. The Ministry of Defence said the jets were carrying high precision bombs.
