Russia has sent expert soldiers to Qamishli in Syria on the Turkish border. It is enlarging the airport in the region. This is a sign of only one thing... 

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has claimed responsibility for triple bombings in northern Syria that killed at least 26 people.

ISIL said in a statement posted online that the attacks in the predominantly Kurdish province of Hassakeh's town of Tal Tamr targeted offices of the main Kurdish militia known as YPG, the Associated Press reported.

Clashes between the jihadist Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and government troops in the northeast Syrian city of Hasakeh have displaced an estimated 60,000 people, a UN agency said on June 25.

Kurdish fighters from the People's Protection Units (YPG) in Syria have reportedly handed over a Syrian refugee, who was being sought in connection to a murder in Turkey, to authorities in the southeastern Turkish province of ??rnak.

At least 44 members of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) were killed in clashes with Kurdish troops in Syria on Thursday, a monitoring group said.
      
Thirty of the jihadists were killed fighting against members of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in the village of Qassiab in Hasakeh province, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Turkish military has ruled out Turkey's pro-Kurdish opposition party's claims that Islamist jihadists fired on Syrian Kurdish militants from the Turkish side of the border with Syria.

The sources instead claim that Syrian Kurds were using a Turkish depot for shelter while Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants stayed across the border for only "a few minutes."

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) group is locked in a war of attrition in the Syrian border town of Kobane, where Kurdish fighters backed by US-led air strikes are mounting fierce resistance.

Two months after ISIL launched a major offensive to try to capture the strategic prize on the Turkish frontier, the jihadists have failed to defeat the town’s Kurdish defenders.

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.

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) jihadists have attacked an oil and gas field in Syria, killing at least 30 pro-regime forces and security guards, a monitoring group said Oct. 29.
      
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the attack was launched on Tuesday night and fighting continued through the night.
