Kurdish and Iraqi forces have made gains on the Islamic State with the backing of U.S. airstrikes in Iraq and Syria. The strikes continued over the weekend with dozens of attacks in the cross-border area under ISIS control. The Iraqi military regained control of a town south of Baghdad while the Kurdish Peshmerga ousted ISIS fighters in the northern town of Zumar. Meanwhile, Kurdish forces in Syria say they have thwarted a new ISIS push on the besieged town of Kobani.
