US President Barack Obama is preparing to expand the American offensive against Islamic State extremists, including targeting the group’s havens inside Syria, reports Bloomberg.

The administration is considering steps including moves to block foreign fighters from entering Syria and Iraq, delivering more aid to moderate factions among Syrian rebels and expanding air strikes to Islamic State targets in Syria.

The US already has stepped up aerial surveillance in Syria, which would be needed to provide the real-time intelligence necessary to conduct precise attacks.
