Solidarity from Paris to Raqqa

A picture of two young men standing by Rue Albert, the site of one of the attacks that took place on Friday, has been shared on social media.

The men are holding up a phone with the image of the Twitter handle of the activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently.

On Sunday, France launched 20 air strikes over Raqqa, the de facto capital of the Islamic State group.

The French defence ministry said that sites used by IS such as a recruiment centre and an arms depot were targeted.

There has been no information regarding any human casualties.
