A member of terror group Islamic State (Isis) in the Syrian city of Kobani has sent a message asking for support and prayers for him and the other Sunni militants.

An militant known as Adam al-Almani took to the social media to ask supporters to pray for IS fighters, who may be struggling to continue their insurgence.

The plea was made after the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that Kurdish fighters who are combatting IS' insurgence in the country have seized six strategic buildings used by the terrorists and large quantities of weapons and ammunition.

Resistance fighters also retook a strategic hill overlooking the besieged city.

The message, reported by Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, which aims to promote democratic values in countries where freedom of expression is denied, read:

"Brothers and sisters, I will try to be brief, for you this will be just a text, but for us they are fully experienced feelings, you read this on the screen, and we are going through this in real life, you get tired after 10 minutes of praying...but we do not rest, you're all comfortable in a soft bed, and we are anxious under a rain of missiles.

"You will not understand the feeling when the sky is torn up from drones, and the earth is bursting from what is falling on it.

"You do not understand the feeling when you lie, hoping to sleep an hour before your next turn guarding the front, and there are bombs falling and fragments of the ceiling drop on you, when you do not know which of the walls will fall on you in the next few minutes, or even worse, the roof.

"When brothers are killed in front of you, yes, yes, we have seen all that in the movies, but few have experienced it, when you know there is no turning back, that hell is behind you and ahead of you are trials."

Hundreds of people, including a large number of women, are joining the Kurdish fighters in a bid to halt the insurgence of IS, which aims to overthrow the government of Syria and Iraq and expand its Islamic caliphate.
