France is redoubling its attacks on IS in Syria and raising security at home

France is redoubling its attacks on IS in Syria and raising security at home.

The IS attack on Paris has prompted fury as well as tears. France is hitting back, tightening security at home, and upping strikes on IS in Syria. There are signs of a new anti IS-alliance being formed, with a fresh push towards peace talks on Syria.
