Fighter jets from the US-led coalition which is fighting the “Islamic State” (IS) terror group was reported today (Tuesday) to have struck Syrian targets close to the Turkish border in support of Kurdish forces struggling for control of the town of Kobani.
A report in the New York Times states that though the fight has been going on in full view of Turkish troops with massed tanks, and cannons pointing toward Syria, they have not as yet opened fire or intervened in any way.
Though the US Central Command did not confirm reports it had received from journalists located near the border, today’s news reports stated that allied warplanes had hit IS positions just to the west of Kobani.
