The Paris terror attacks were, President Francoise Hollande told his people, "an act of war". And swift retribution came soon afterwards, as the French dropped 20 bombs on an ISIS stronghold in Raqqa, Syria, on Sunday night.
The unverified images of the missile said to be Syria-bound were shared on social media, and said to be a memorial for the 129 killed on Friday.
The Hellfire missiles were written on by persons unknown, but the act is in a tradition held by the US military since World War Two.
The images show messages written in black marker pen and also made out of white tape.
