Local Editor

A young Jewish girl is among dozens of French teenagers who have fled France to join so-called "Daesh" [ISIL] militants in Syria and Iraq, according to a report in The Daily Mail on Friday.

It quoted a French security official who said that Daesh had recruited a Jewish girl to its ranks.

It did not specify the age of the Jewish recruit.

While women do not fight - although some form police units - their homes are near combat zones and exposed to bombing from coalition warplanes fighting Daesh, the Daily Mail wrote.
