The US is sending Special Forces to Syria to assist anti-government rebels in fighting the so-called Islamic State (IS), officials have said.

There will be "fewer than 50" forces deployed in the region, in what will be the first time US troops are working openly on the ground in Syria.

There have been US Special Forces raids on IS militants in the country.

A senior administration official told the BBC this does not signal a change in US strategy in Syria.
