French President Francois Hollande blamed ISIS for Friday's terror attacks in Paris that killed more than 120 people, and the militants were only too willing to accept the blame.
"France was attacked in a cowardly way, violently," Hollande announced Saturday. "France will be unbreakable."
During that speech, Hollande called the attacks an act of war, said they were organized and planned from the outside and vowed "merciless" retaliation.
ISIS responded not long after with a statement in both Arabic and French claiming it carried out the attacks as retaliation for France's airstrikes against the militants.
ISIS's media branch also circulated an undated video Saturday warning of attacks if the airstrikes continue.
While France has been bombing ISIS targets in Iraq since last year, it extended its campaign into Syria just two months ago.
