Syria's army has been pounding major bases of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in coordination with the Baghdad government for 24 hours, a monitor said on Sunday.
In Raqa, a town in central Syria considered a pivotal base for ISIL, the air force bombed the area surrounding ISIL's main headquarters in Syria.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also told AFP that Syrian air forces had struck the group's religious courts, adding there were no reported casualties.
Photographs sent by activists in Raqa that could not be independently verified showed craters in the ground and rubble in front of the main gates of the headquarters, a former town hall.
