The strikes followed the request by Turkey for intensified U.S. efforts to prevent the predominantly Kurdish town, known as Ayn al-Arab in Arabic, from falling to the Islamic State, Turkish officials said. Turkey has lined up tanks and troops within view of the Syrian Kurdish fighters defending Kobane but has not sought to intervene — for a tangle of reasons bound up with its complicated relationship with Kurds and its doubts about the goals of the international coalition fighting the extremists.

FBI and JihadistsChicago arrest displays FBI’s wide net for Islamic State recruits
It marked at least the third time in the last month that federal agents have arrested Americans alleged to have been attempting to support the Jihadists’ fight in Iraq and Syria and underscores the challenge facing the FBI and other federal agents as they cast a nationwide net to try to intercept U.S. recruits bound for the Middle East or Islamic State operatives attempting to retaliate for recent U.S. airstrikes.

U.S. Air Campaign Against ISISThe Air Campaign Against ISIS: Understanding What Air Strikes Can Do—and What They Can’t
The air strikes in Syria signify a departure from military operations over the past thirteen years and a return to strategic concepts that date back to Desert Storm. While supporting ground forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan, air forces largely used dynamic targeting, where a commander on the ground directs air attacks according to the situation.
