#2 YPG and YPJ in Kobane are not reporting every day like in the past. It is believed that the days that they are not reporting progress, are days when ISIS has brought in reinforcements and the Kurds are falling back into the city to allow ISIS to flow in and occupy kill zones. Then coalition aircraft strike the kill zones. The Kurds then move back in to do cleanup sweeps. They are not publicizing this strategy so as not to alert ISIS.
