KNOWLEDGE OF THE TERRAIN AND THE LOCALITIES WAS KEY...
knowledge of the town’s layout became key, and in this the Kurdish fighters, many of who are from Kobane, have the upper hand.
By contrast many of Isil’s fighters are foreigners unfamiliar with the streets and alleys.
Locals said they fought Tunisians, Moroccans and Saudi Arabians as well as Syrians in the Isil teams.

"The crucial turning point, Mr Kharaba said, the US airforce destroyed a building where Isil leaders had been meeting, killing everyone inside. " All right - a good day for promotions!

From the article:
“Mr Kharaba described to the Telegraph being just metres from the air strike’s targets, and knowing he was safe: “They are incredibly accurate. If the Americans wanted to put a rocket in someone’s eye, even from hundreds of meters in the air, they could.”
