18 airstrikes on ISIL
position in Kobane today destroyed 16 ISIL-occupied buildings. Today’s attacks
bring the total number of U.S.-led coalition airstrikes against ISIL positions
in Kobane to 39, CENTCOM reported.
There are reports in the
social media today that some ISIL insurgents, under heavy bombardment by
U.S.-led coalition air forces, are fleeing Kobane toward Raqqa, the Islamic State's base in Syria.

There are a number of roads ISIL elements can take in withdrawing towards Raqqa.

Let's hope ISIL uses these maps to get out of Kobane entirely.
