police in france and belgium launch add major operation to find suspects linked to friday's attacks on paris, 129 people died in those assaults and more than 148 raids conducted overnight across france, 23 people are being detained and weapons, computers and phones seized and french interior said the republic will destroy the terrorists responsible for the attacks and french prosecutors investigating friday's assaults are also focusing on the growing connection to belgium. within the last hour police there have been raiding homes in the capitol, al jazeera's paul brennan is at the scene of the police operation in the capitol, what has been happening there, paul? >> reporter: it's an operation

that it began almost as we just turned up here in the area. we are on a road here and behind me as you can look over my shoulder you can see masked police, you can see fire officers and see both plain clothed and uniformed officers and focusing at an address on number 47 and we have seen and heard loud hailers shouting to the occupants of that number 47 to open the windows, open the blinds and come out with their hands up. then the situation fell quiet and then the loud hail has began again addressing this time number 49 so it does appear that the police and security services here are sweeping up and trying to search for suspects and for people of interest shall we say in this particular district. it all started just before 9:30 gmf and it has been going on now

for nearly two hours, an hour and a half and are explosive experts on stand by and also seen fire service personnel on stand i by and there are police also on rooftops nearby focusing on this address which is over my shoulder so and on going situation and i have to say the mood here although tense appears to be methodical and not seeing the police aiming their weapons at a particular address and they are firm but relatively relaxed from my point of view anyway and doesn't appear there is a huge amount of panic or alarm and taking this very seriously indeed and the operation as i say is on going. >> away from the operation i mean how much panic and alarm is in the country, paul? i mean i know there is a high state of alert and knowing that these operations have been conducted from there or

originated from there. >> there is a huge urgency in relation to this operation, obviously because of what happened in paris and because of the fact that suspects are still standing and a wanted poster is circulated and named as prime suspect 26 years old and he is sala and yet to be detained by police and clearly a high priority for the forces and indeed they also want to speak and arrest any potential accomplices and he was in a vehicle that was driving from france to belgium on saturday and stopped by french traffic police and didn't have his name at the time and didn't have anything to prevent him from going on his way, a missed opportunity many people say, the two people though in that car who were with him also now being accused as accomplices and suspects too and another name

put forward is abaaoud who appears to be in syria but sources quoted by reuters says he is a potential organizer from the attacks and he is from this area. >> thank you for that, paul paul, the french interior minister in the last hour giving details of the raids across the country. >> translator: we are mobilizing all means of investigation to find them in the mosques which promote hate or place under house arrest those who need to be, conduct searches of people, ladies and gentlemen of the jury only one response is possible and that is what the french people have adopted. the response of the republic of those who wish to destroy it, the terrorists will never destroy the republic because it's the republic that will

destroy them. >> so, jackie, quite a lot of information about the raids and how widespread they were. >> yes, indeed a total of 23 people were arrested in those overnight raids and 31 weapons seized and they were over the length and breath of france from lee in the north and to the south to the east and other cities involved were neo and near the belgian border and paris and intensive raids, more than 100 searches carried out overnight and as i said more than 20 people arrested in those raids. >> jackie, france is just observed silence and i imagine that was pretty emotional. >> yes, in fact, it was more than a minute.

i would say the people stood silent here outside the first restaurant that was struck on friday night and people were standing silently for about five minutes and you have the other restaurant next door as well where there were casualties. this as you can imagine on friday night, it's a very lively, trendy part of town and could hardly feel a greater contrast now, very somber mood and shatters drawn down and standing there as well and people were laying flowers and standing in silence, really the whole of paris is in shock and i would say it's a collective shock and also a collective fear under the surface as was very clear in sunday night where a simple rumor and people are applausing now in memory of the people who were killed here on friday night.

so, yes, it's a combination of grief and mourning, also fear at the knowledge that there are still suspects out there but also that round of applause really an act of defiance in a way, a sign from the french people that they will continue to live their lives and will continue with the way of life they have and that they do not intend to be forced to change that way of life or change the way they go about their daily routine as a result of friday night. >> good jackie thank you. the french military has retaliated to attacks in paris carrying out air strikes on targets in syria and defense ministry says it has destroyed a weapons depo and a training camp. david has the details from paris. >> reporter: france has taken the war back to i.s.i.l. launching an intense of bombing raids against the self declared capitol al-raqqa in syria and they have flown overnight sunday

from air bases in jordan and the gulf. the french foreign minister described the operation as a legitimate response to the black friday massacre in paris. >> translator: we've done it in the past and done it again today because raqqa as you know is the center of command of i.s.i.l. so we cannot be attacked severely, as you saw the drama that happened in paris without being present and active. >> reporter: the raids were against targets supplied by u.s. intelligence and it has been relieved that attack was about to be launched last week and a team of 19 fighters had been trained in camps in raqqa to carry out the mission. >> i think it's about as much as french domestic politician politics as being effective and send to forces in i.s.i.l. to try to turn the tables back and hit them in the homeland how they were hit this past weekend

and given good targets and from what i read u.s. intelligence has been coordinating with the french and i think they are largely symbolic and reaching out to i.s.i.l. and letting them in know not to stand with this. >> french targets were striking back with al-raqqa was welcome for people standing vigil who lost their lives on black friday. >> translator: we needed to feel the armed forces were capable of striking far from our frontiers at the route of this evil that has killed in our capitol city so many french people. >> translator: before these attacks i thought bombarding i.s.i.l. would cause problems for france and increase the refugee problem for example but now i have no doubt we can't go on like this. i.s.i.l., we have to eliminate them. >> reporter: the mood in paris is still defiant but there is no doubting an under current of fear exists here. and there is a growing

realization in the rest of western europe as well that they all may be vulnerable to this new and dangerous turn in the war. david with al jazeera, paris. activist from raqqa has spoken to al jazeera about those air strikes on the city. we have not identified him for his own safety. >> translator: the u.s. led coalition jets this morning carried out three air strikes targeting i.s.i.l. posts on the outskirts of the city but no civilian casualties reported, the air strikes caused a state of panic among civilians and residents say the air strikes may be retaliation to paris attacks and yesterday evening the french jets carried out 30 attacks on city and suburbs targeting i.s.i.l. posts and explosions were big but did not leave any casualties among civilians. the residents said the air strikes were not meant to target civilians but to bomb i.s.i.l. positions in raqqa. plenty more ahead on al jazeera including managed to

plus other attacks more recently particularly in lebanon only last week as well so there does seem to be an effort because of what happened in paris to have this more coordinated approach. it's not just the russians that are being asked to have a more coordinated approach, it's other european countries as well, france we know attacked targets in raqqa and the effective capitol of i.s.i.l. just last night and britain says it may have to join the fight as well and targeting i.s.i.l. targets in iraq at the moment and a coming together and recognition from the world leaders the best way to fight i.s.i.l. is if they do it together. >> bernard as you talk we are looking at live pictures coming from paris of the tributes laid there and thanks and battle underway to try to recapture the third largest city in yemen and air strikes and forces from the
