Islamic State jihadists have seized 60 Kurdish villages near the Turkish border in a lightning two-day campaign, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Friday.
"In the past 48 hours, they have taken 60 villages, 40 on Friday alone," said Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman, referring to the operation around Ain al-Arab, known to the Kurds as Kobane.
"The Kurdish fighters are beating a retreat because they are outnumbered."

Watch as ISIL and the Assad regime restore their detente and go after the Kurds (ISIL) and the moderate opposition (regime). They want to eliminate any middle ground presenting their respective constituencies, the people in Syria, the region and the world with 'the lesser of the two evil' choice. When I was a kid in Lebanon, the walls in Koura district was filled with graffiti stating 'accept the bad to avoid what is worse.' My father translated told me that this was done by pro-Syrian regime elements 'Accept the Assad regime to avoid what is worse.' They played this game on all parties in Lebanon. They have been playing it for over 40 years now. ISIL - another totalitarian regime - is playing the same game.
