British fighter jets today started bombing ISIS-controlled

authorise air strikes in the country.

Seven precision-guided 500lb Paveway bombs have been dropped
on the east of the country in two separate raids by Tornado jets flying out
from RAF Akrotiri, in Cyprus, with the first mission setting off just 57
minutes after MPs voted in favour of military action.

to be ‘successful’. This morning eight more jets, six Typhoons and two
Tornados, flew out from RAF Lossiemouth in Scotland to join the raids on Syria
in response to a request from Britain’s allies.
