Ammunition seized and at least nine arrested in over 150 raids carried out in Calais and Toulouse among other places.
Specialised counterterrorism units have carried over 150 raids across France and arrested at least nine people in connection with the deadly Paris attacks.
Monday's early-morning raids took place in Calais, Toulouse, Paris, Jeumont and Grenoble where police blocked streets and searched houses looking for suspects involved in Friday's attacks, which killed at least 129 people and wounded hundreds more.
Local media reported 13 raids in Lyon where a rocket launcher, among other ammunition, was seized and arrests made.
Al Jazeera's David Chater, reporting from Paris, said about 200 members of police tactical units surrounded an address in Toulouse and ammunition and a large amount of cash were also found at one of the locations.
He said 20 police vans were used in the raid in Jeumont on the French-Belgian border where a house was searched.
