FRENCH WORD OF THE DAY: Mitrailler

Mitrailler: To attack with machine-gun fire.

As seen in: « Alep, la deuxième ville de Syrie, était mitraillée vendredi par des hélicoptères des forces de Bachar el-Assad. »

(Translation: “Alep, Syria’s second-largest city, was hit with machine-gun fire from helicopters piloted by Bachar el-Assad’s forces.”)
