The ISIS in Kobani is facing severe damage and losses. The Syrian Kurdish town of Kobani has become the theatre of war between the Islamic State radicals, Kurds and the U.S. led allies who are pounding the town with air strikes to retrieve the town.
According to a U.K. based monitoring group, the Islamic State fighters have faced severe reverses including hundreds of deaths and injury at the Kobani town, bordering Turkey. Highlighting the rising toll of ISIS cadres, Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that at least 50 militants had been killed in the last couple of days from suicide bombings and clashes with Kurdish fighters.
Mounting ISIS Toll
Several deaths were also caused by the air strikes by the U.S. led forces. Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the observatory said 30 air raids targeted Islamic State bases on the northern outskirts of Raqqa province and they inflicted huge damage to ISIS fighters, reported RFRL News.
The sustained air attacks and ground offensive have loosened the grip of Islamic State fighters, who took control of Raqqa last year and made it their capital. Last week, 95 people were killed and hundreds were injured when Syrian warplanes pounded Raqqa. The dead also include some civilians.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. led coalition has been able to cause some serious damage to Islamic State insurgents in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. airstrikes evidently helped the fight against ISIS in the region. John Kerry claimed that the siege of Kobani had been loosened and within Syria ISIS command facilities have been destroyed and its oil infrastructure has also been heavily damaged.

Go Kurds go!!!
Here’s an enemy Hillary can lavish some empathy on.
Clean house, Kurds! Give no quarter.
Kobani could be ISIS’s Stalingrad.
GO KURDS!!! Kill the obama people!!!
Surely Allah will come to their rescue.
Tsk! Unempathetic, inappropriate comments abound here today. ;-)
May God help the Kurds unease fire and brimstone over the ISIS vermin. Let there be no mistake that Allah is a false god, as the world sees the wrath of Almighty God poured on the smoking rubble of their lairs.
Raqqa needs to be bombed flat . Wiped off the face of the earth .
yep, is a Tsk day, week, month, year and decade. Makes one think that the People are tired of being in the obama Hades or is it all in the name of Liberty?
When the Viet Cong suffered reverses, they backed off, regrouped or attacked somewhere else. ISIS would seem to be reinforcing failure.
Militants killed from suicide bombings? Who is doing the suicide bombings?
In the name of “empathy” we are to accept genocidal war criminals and respect them and give them a place at the table? Sick, sick. How about some empathy for the innocent victims of ISIS?
Excellent news!
Empathy for the Devil
I lack the skills to photoshop Hillary’s face on Mick’s body.
Yeh but the city of Kobane is like a big junkyard now.ISIS scum need to be obliterated so go Kurds.
