At least 50 ISIS fighters killed in Syria's Kobane

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] At least 50 Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group jihadists have been killed in the past 24 hours in festivities, suicide kabooms and U.S.-led air strikes in Syria's Kobane, Agence La Belle France-Presse reported a monitor as saying Sunday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights described number of deaths as one of the highest daily tolls for the Sunni Moslem Death Eater group since it launched an assault on the strategic town on the Turkish border in September.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, Buford bit the snake and Eloise began speaking in tongues...
a U.S.-led coalition on Saturday carried out at least 30 air strikes in Syria against ISIS in the northern province of Raqqa, the Observatory reported.

The air strikes hit ISIS positions in the northern outskirts of Raqqa city, a major stronghold of the hardline Islamist murderous Moslems.

The areas hit by the strikes included the 17th Division, a Syrian army base that ISIS seized in July, the Observatory said.

Fighting in Aleppo
In a related story, fighting between rebels and government's forces continued in Aleppo, Syria's second city and former industrial powerhouse.

A Syrian woman and her three sons were killed overnight by rebel fire in the government-held side of Aleppo, the Observatory reported.

The woman and her children were killed when a homemade rocket fired from the rebel-held east of the city hit their home around midnight in the Ashrafiyeh district.

The Britannia-based monitor said rebels were firing homemade bombs often using gas canisters that were even more damaging than regular mortar fire.

Aleppo has been divided between rebel control in the east and regime control in the west since shortly after fighting began there in mid-2012.

Since the end of 2013, the Syrian air force has regularly dropped explosive-packed "barrel bombs," which rights groups criticize as particularly indiscriminate, on the rebel east and surrounding province.

The barrel kabooms have killed several thousand people in Aleppo province, according to the Observatory.

In recent months, rebels have intensified their mortar attacks on the government-held west of the city, killing nearly 300 people in four months, the group said.

#1  A member of the FSA (Free Syrian Army), very popular with Kurds in Kobane, shown in this video digging out a trapped ISIS member, and scolding him about his hair, was either martyred or wounded per various reports during the fighting at the Turkish/Kobane border crossing this weekend.

Regardless, the ISIS fighter was responding with appreciation in the video of being rescued.
