Some Good News out of Kobani, Syria? What These Kurdish Fighters Have Done...Kurdish fighters, many of them women, reportedly now control at least 90% of the embattled Syrian city of Kobani. (Kobani, Syria)—According to reports, the battle for the strategic Syrian city of Kobani, has taken a turn for the better, as those monitoring the situation say Kurdish fighters are claiming progress in their fight against ISIS.

Sometimes there have even been all-female units on the front line. One female fighter explained, "The jihadists don't like fighting women, because if they're killed by a female, they think they won't go to Heaven."
