"Nothing will make us yield in our will to fight terrorism. "France is horrified by what has happened, this monstrosity which is using a truck to deliberately kill dozens of people who simply came to celebrate July 14. We will further strengthen our actions in Iraq and in Syria. "France was struck on its national day, a symbol of freedom," said Hollande.France "will always be stronger, I promise you, than the fanatics that want to strike it. There was a sense of deja vu in France as the visibly moved president took to the airwaves to address a nation once again in mourning.If confirmed as an act of terror, the incident will be the third major attack on French soil in 18 months -- with several smaller-scale jihadist killings also having taken place.While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack in the resort city, Hollande vowed to strengthen his country’s role in the fight against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria.
