The International Syria Support Group on Nov. 14 “expressed a unanimous sense of urgency” to end the war in Syria following terrorist attacks in Paris the day before that killed at least 129 people.
French President Francois Hollande said the killings were an “act of war” and promised “merciless” retaliation against the Islamic State (IS), which claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The terrorist assault in Paris came just one day after two explosions in the Burj el-Barajneh Shiite neighborhood of Beirut took at least 43 lives, as reported by Ali Hashem for Al-Monitor.
