The international coalition is on the verge of focusing its airstrikes and ground attacks in Syria on the city of Raqqa, known as the epicenter of ISIS, The New York Times reported on Monday.
This major American daily cited US government and military representatives saying Obama last week issued a permission for necessary actions.
The New York Times wrote these attacks will be launched soon, adding the US President has for the first time approved the direct transfer of ammunition and probably weapons to Syrian dissidents.
