BEIJING, Nov. 5 (Xinhuanet) --Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga fighters and moderate Syrian rebels have bombarded Islamic State positions in Kobane.
The arrival in Kobani of the Iraqi Kurdish peshmerga and additional Syrian Free Syrian Army fighters has given a greater push to defend the town. The U.S. military said it bombed Islamic State positions in Syria five times and in Iraq nine times on Sunday and Monday, including near Kobane.
Earlier, an estimated 150 Iraqi Kurdish fighters crossed into Kobane with arms and ammunition from Turkey late on Friday.
