More than 1,000 people, mostly jihadists, have been killed in Kobane since the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) launched an offensive on the Syrian town nearly two months ago, a monitor said Nov. 9.
ISIL jihadists, who proclaimed a "caliphate" in June straddling territory captured in Iraq and Syria, launched their offensive for the town - also known as Ain al-Arab - in mid-September.
"At least 1,013 people have been killed in fighting in Ain al-Arab from the beginning of the offensive till last night," said Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman.
Militants from the Sunni extremist ISIL group accounted for 609 of those killed in the Kurdish town on the Turkish border, he said.
