On the streets of Kobane - PHOTO+VIDEO

The footage, which emerged on social media accounts linked to the terror group, shows jihadists wandering rubble-lined roads and entering destroyed buildings while the sound of intense gun fights is heard nearby.The video emerged as fierce street battles broke out yesterday - the first significant fighting in the city since the majority of ISIS' militants were pushed back into the suburbs two days ago by the most intense coalition bombing raids of the past few weeks.The clashes came as desperate ISIS jihadists launched a final assault 'on all fronts' to take the town yesterday, after the militants felt the full force of American air power with sustained bombing raids resulting in a series of spectacular explosions in the besieged Syrian town.The video begins by showing an American warplane circling overhead while ISIS militants can be heard chanting religious slogans and asking God to keep them safe. Masked men are then seen stalking the Kobane backstreets, wandering from building to building as the sound of intense fighting is heard nearby.The militants enter partially-destroyed factories, where makeshift bedding can be seen against the walls - suggesting the rooms are being used to house militants while they besiege the town.Militants, some of them not wearing masks, are then interviewed on camera and describe in Arabic their brutal efforts to seize the town from its largely Kurdish population. The extremists have been dramatically pushed back from the town in recent days, having as recently as last week looked like it was about to drive out the last of the brave Kurdish fighters defending it.As a fresh round of airstrikes rained down earlier this week, the US also ran a series of airdrops for the Kurdish resistance, dispatching weapons and medical supplies.The video of militants wandering around inside Kobane comes as it emerged ISIS has seized at least one cache of weapons airdropped by U.S.-led coalition forces that were meant to supply Kurdish troops fighting the terrorists in Kobane.Footage released by the terror group shows a masked militant inspecting cases packed with hand grenades, ammunition and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, prompting the U.S. state department to announce it is investigating the video's authenticity. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which gathers its information on a network of activists on the ground, said the militants had seized at least one cache.However analysts have questioned the footage, saying the weapons in the film are not U.S. standard issue and suggesting ISIS may have faked the scenario using arms already in their possession in order to make the American military appear incompetent.
