ISIL Pushes into Kobani, Sending Syrian Kurds Fleeing for Safety | World Affairs Journal
Fighters from Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), backed by
tanks and artillery, advanced into the southwest of the Syrian-Kurdish
town of Kobane overnight, a monitoring group said Tuesday, as
street-to-street fighting raged and the town's Kurdish defenders ordered
all civilians to flee.
Two black ISIL flags were seen flying on Kobane's eastern side on
Monday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an
anti-Assad monitoring group with a network of activists across
Syria. Hours after the insurgents raised the flags they punctured the
Kurdish front lines and advanced into the town itself.
