Peshmerga fighters enter Syrian border
2014-11-01
[Ynet] Iraqi peshmerga fighters began entering the Syrian border town of Kobani Friday night where they were expected to join the battle against Islamist Death Eaters besieging the town, activists said.

The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Kobani-based activist Mustafa Bani said 10 vehicles carrying Iraqi peshmerga fighters and their weapons have entered the town. They said the Iraqi Kurdish force entered from an area west of the town near the strategic Tel Shair hill.

The Observatory and Bali said it was not immediately clear how many peshmerga fighters of the force of 150 have entered Kobani.
