A spokesman for the Ministry Of Defence confirmed RAF tornados have just returned from their "first offensive operation over Syria and have conducted strikes".
Earlier Four Tornado GR4s took off from the Akrotiri base in Cyprus.
Sky correspondent Jonathan Samuels, reporting from the base, said two had returned "missing three Paveway bombs each".
Sky's Defence Correspondent Alistair Bunkall said the first missions were launched "barely an hour" after Parliament voted in favour of airstrikes.
"This is a show of intent from the Government," he said.
"Clearly they had some pre-planned targets ready to go if the vote was a yes ... they did not want to hang around."
The tornados will be a small but significant addition to the coalition strike force in Syria and more aircraft will soon be joining them from the UK.
Six typhoon jets from RAF Lossiemouth are expected to head to Cyprus along with more Tornados from RAF Marham in Norfolk.
Their British designed Brimstone missiles are a vital asset with their ability to hit targets with remarkable accuracy and limit collateral damage.
Barack Obama has welcomed the vote agreeing to expand military action against IS.
The US President said it demonstrated the coalition's "unity and resolve".
