Kurdish and Hezbollah fighters have been killed in suicide bombings and border clashes with ISIS militants as they fight to stop the extremists from extending their influence across the region. Funerals were held in Turkey today for Kurdish fighters who were killed in battle near the northern Syria border town of Kobane. The town and its surrounding areas were the scene of heavy fighting this week after ISIS attempted to seize control of the Kurdish-run stronghold. And Hezbollah has also buried its dead in recent days after numerous fighters were killed defending the loosely patrolled Lebanon-Syria border from ISIS fighters - clashes which left at least eight Hezbollah fighters and dozens of jihadists and Syrian rebels dead.
