The minister stated that, "it is not the first time, it is not the last time," French aircraft have bombed the terrorists in Syria.
Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011. The country's government forces are fighting a number of opposition groups, as well as radical Islamist militant organizations, including the Nusra Front and ISIL.
In late September, France conducted its first airstrikes in Syria as part of a US-led international coalition that has been targeting ISIL position in Syria, as well as in Iraq, since 2014.
Comment: No word as of yet if France is coordinating with Russia on these strikes nor how successful they were. After all it was only two jets. We never see photos from the West on their "successful" bombing missions. Is France showing off or will it see the light?
