AFP, Beirut :
At least 35 Islamic State jihadists were killed on Sunday in clashes with Syrian Kurdish fighters around the flashpoint town of Kobane, a monitor said.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the deaths came in three separate clashes around the town in Aleppo province of northern Syria.
At least 22 of the jihadists were killed in fighting on the border between Aleppo and Raqa province, where IS has its de-facto capital.
That battle marked the first time in months that fighters from the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) have expanded their attacks to the edge of Raqa province.
