French President Francois Hollande and British Prime Minister David Cameron have agreed to "intensify  their cooperation" in the fight against ISIL terrorists, Hollande's office said in a statement Saturday.

The two leaders spoke by phone, with Hollande congratulating Cameron on winning a recent vote in the British parliament to start bombing ISIL targets in Syria, the French presidency said.

"The two leaders agreed to further intensify their cooperation in the fight against ISIL both in the Syrian campaign and in the exchange of information," the Elysee Palace said.

Britain, which was already carrying out anti-ISIL air strikes in Iraq, attacked terrorist targets in Syria for the first time on Thursday, just hours after parliament gave its approval.
