British special forces are involved in frontline operations in Syria. According to the Times, elite UK soldiers had crossed into southern Syria to support the New Syrian Army (NSA) rebel group fighting ISIS close to the border with Jordan.

It now finds itself holed up in the al-Tanf village, in the southeast.
