An activist group has said France's first air strike on Islamic State (IS) militants in Syrian territory killed 30, including 12 child soldiers.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Sunday's strike on an IS camp in eastern Syria had also wounded about 20 fighters.
French President Francois Hollande said on Sunday six jets had destroyed the camp in the province of Deir al-Zour.
France had previously limited its strikes on IS to Iraqi airspace.

French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the raid had struck "an extremely sensitive site for [IS]", describing it as a "strategic hub" for militants travelling between Iraq and Syria.
He said the raid was carried out in self-defence, saying that France had evidence that foreign fighters were being trained in the camps to carry out attacks in Europe and in France specifically.

So why is Merkel importing these people? She is putting Germans and the rest of Europe in grave danger.
She doesn’t care......but OH...she will!
Why do our own political elites want to turn a blind eye to illegal immigration from the Third World into the US?
So this ISIS/Islamist front group is for human rights? Who knew?
They are putting US citizens in danger..thereby shirking one of the valid primary duties of the federal government - to protect US citizens from foreign invaders.
So?
To paraphrase the Great Sen. Cruz: If you pick up a gun for ISIS you are signing your own death sentence.
You assume that the care for something other than staying in power.
