Reports are coming in that U.S. airstrikes and Kurdish forces now beating back ISIS as they battle for control of this town on the Syria-Turkey border. Jenn Moussa with Al Aan TV reports:
In general, there is sense of optimism among Kurds I talk to in #Kobane. Although Its not a done deal yet, they feel town wont fall to ISIS.
