German MPs okay mission against Daesh in Syria

German MPs okay mission against Daesh in Syria

German lawmakers have approved the country’s military mission against ISIL in Syria. 

Germany’s mission in Syria will be non-combat, and is to help the fight against Daesh. The mission includes sending reconnaissance jets and a frigate. Up to 1,200 troops will be deployed. The two Tornado reconnaissance jets will be sent to a Turkish air base as early as next week. The frigate is already en route to join a French aircraft carrier. The parliamentary approval comes in response to a call by France for support following Paris terror attacks that killed some 130 people in mid-November. ISIL claimed the Paris carnage, promising to launch more attacks.
