British MPs late on Wednesday voted to extend military action against IS into Syria. In the final vote, 397 MPs voted in favour and 223 voted no.
Parliament has thus approved Prime Minister David Cameron's call to bomb IS not only in Iraq, but in Syria as well.
A senior UK government source told BBC that RAF air strikes on IS in Syria could begin "within hours".
