BEIRUT -- Airstrikes on the northern Syrian city of Raqqa and its outskirts have killed at least 33 fighters with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, over the past three days, an opposition group that tracks Syria's civil war said Wednesday.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the fighters were mostly killed when their checkpoints were attacked by French and other warplanes.
France has launched multiple airstrikes against ISIS following attacks, claimed by the militant group, that killed at least 129 people in Paris on Friday. Russia also intensified its bombardment of Raqqa after Moscow's FSB security service announced Tuesday that a bomb brought down a Russian plane in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula last month, killing all 224 people onboard. ISIS also claimed that attack.
Just days after Russia launched its first significant strikes against ISIS, President Obama extended Russia an offer, CBS News correspondent Margaret Brennan reports.
