UK Special Forces will be joining the coalition attacks in Libya. As of a report by Mirror, Special Air Service (SAS) troops are already preparing for the arrival of 1,000 British infantrymen that would be sent to fight against Islamic State early this year. Special Forces and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment will be taking the lead for the major coalition that's about to take place against the terrorist group.

Around 6,000 American and European troops will be involved in the operation which is led by the Italian forces. The operation is supported by France and Britain.

Their mission is to put an end to the terrorist group's advancement and expansion as it was recently reported that ISIS is eyeing the biggest oil refinery in North Africa, Marsa al Brega refinery which is located in Libya's northern coast as per Daily Mail's report.

Libya has been facing chaos since Gaddafi's governance was abolished. The country is now divided into two governments which is the East and the West.

ISIS already acquired several major oil fields in Syria and they show no signs of stopping in reclaiming oil fields in the neighboring countries, making them the richest terrorist group in the world as per Forbes' list. With their net worth continually increasing, the group would be able to purchase more firearms and battle gears. They would also be able to expand in terms of number making recruitment easy for them.

In addition to the military forces and SAS, Mirror reported that a Royal Navy destroyer is already on its way to the coast of North Africa and the RAF was also asked to gear up for air strikes towards ISIS located in Libya.

Just last month, the ISIS commander by the name of Abu Nabil or Najm Abd Zubaydi was killed in Libya after an airstrike by the U.S. fighter aircraft. After the commander's death, Italy, France, UK and United States decided to work together in mounting an offensive attack against the terrorists supported by the Libyan government which with will take place in the near future.

A senior military source told Mirror that, "This Coalition will provide a wide range of resources from surveillance, to strike operations against Islamic State who have made significant progress in Libya. We have an advance force on the ground who will make an assessment of the situation and identify where attacks should be made and highlight the threats to our forces."
