Attempts by the Islamic state group (IS) to seize the Syrian city of Kobané were blocked and Kurdish fighters should be able to resist with the help of air strikes anti-jihadist coalition, American officials said Thursday. 


The battle lines between IS and Kurdish forces have not moved for a week and "I think that Kurdish supporters (...) will be able to resist," said an American defense official under the condition of anonymity. 
"If you look at what happened last week and a half, the front line in Kobané has hardly budged," said an official of the American military command in charge of the region (Centcom). 
It described "a street fight" on the ground with blocks changing hands from time to time.
The Kurdish Syrian city of Kobané, near the border with Turkey, has an important symbolic issue, both for jihadists of IE and the international coalition. 
American officials Centcom thus expect the onslaught of jihad will continue. 
The coalition strikes have killed in one month more than 500 jihadists in Syria, mainly members of the Islamic state group that has further advanced Thursday Kobané where Kurdish fighters await reinforcements promised by the Iraqi Kurdistan.
