France is considering launching air strikes against the Islamic State armed group in Syria, Le Monde reported Saturday. The French newspaper quoted an unnamed "high level source".
The crisis of refugees fleeing civil war in Syria would explain this change in strategy, Le Monde said.
"Everybody realises that things can not continue as they are," it quoted the source as saying.
Since September 2014, France has been engaged in an international coalition supporting groups fighting against Islamic State militants, but until now has refused to intervene militarily in Syria.
