See the first images of the attacks against Islamic State in Syria

The United States and Arab allies have launched airstrikes for the first time against targets in Syria of the extremist group calling itself Islamic State (IS).

The Pentagon said fighter jets, bombers and Tomahawk missiles were used in the attack.

Several attacks were carried out against the city of Raqqa, a major IS base of operations in eastern Syria that the group captured in 2013.

A resident of the town of Kefr Daryan, also in northern Syria, recorded footage of the destruction.
