Children armed with AK-47s fought to the death to defend Kobani yesterday after air strikes failed to stop their Islamic State enemies.
They had ignored orders to flee from Kurdish officials who warned they could no longer protect them.
Using tanks and advanced weaponry, the jihadis easily outgunned the garrison of the Syrian border town.
Their relentless advance starkly illustrates the limitations of air strikes.
All for one: The snaps were posted on Twitter and captioned ‘Kurdish family vs Isis terorist (sic) in Kobane. Kurds in Kobane need help!’
United against ISIS: Several images emerged today showing young and old in Kobani fighting ISIS
Six US-led bombing raids had appeared to slow the IS assault on Kobani, destroying four armoured vehicles and damaging a tank.
Kurdish forces scored similar successes in the south and east of Kobani. Yet government officials later said the town, which has been besieged for three weeks, was about to fall.
The announcement came as photos emerged of families – including women and children – joining in the fight against IS. A boy of barely ten was pictured carrying an AK-47.

Another picture showed a gun-toting teenage girl wearing a hoodie, jeans and ballet pumps.
The photographs were posted on Twitter yesterday with the comment: ‘Kurdish family vs Isis terrorists in Kobani. Kurds in Kobani need help!’
Artillery shells continued to thump into densely packed neighbourhoods yesterday. Thousands of militants have advanced into the south-west of Kobani and are engaged in desperate street-fighting.
Mahmoud, 50, said he had seen IS fighters in the streets: ‘I don’t know where they were all coming from, but once they were killed, more IS would come.’
New footage released by ISIS and posted on social media reportedly shows how they are in control of a strategic hill on the outskirts of the city of Kobane

A veteran Kurdish leader, Omar Sheikhmous, said civilians were being advised to flee to Turkey – out of the reach of IS.
Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan told Syrian refugees in Gaziantep, a town near the border: ‘The problem of IS cannot be solved via air bombardment. Kobani is about to fall.’
Fourteen Turkish tanks were lined up just 200 yards across the border from Kobani. Turkey, a member of Nato, has done little despite pledging to stop Kobani from falling to IS.

One Twitter user wrote: ‘So our Nato ally is standing close by, watch(ing) kids and grannies fight IS?’
Syrian Kurds have said that not only are the Turks not helping, they are actually hindering the defence of Kobani by preventing Kurdish militiamen in Turkey from crossing the border.
The Turkish government is said to fear encouraging the Kurdish separatist movement inside its own borders.
Syrian Kurds have exploited the state of civil war in their country to carve out a self-governing region on their side of the border.

Threat: A black flag belonging to ISIS was raised above a four-storey building in the Kobane suburbs yesterday. This morning's airstrikes are said to have targeted this streets around the building
Kurdish officials issued a fresh plea for international intervention, saying: ‘We are calling out to all international powers, forces from Kurdistan and Kurdish public that IS thugs must be stopped and thousands of civilians must be saved from massacre.’
If they do take the town, IS – also known as Isis – will control an unbroken 125-mile stretch of frontier between Turkey and Syria.
More than 400 people have been killed in the Kobani region since the fighting began, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Two black IS flags were seen flying on Kobani’s eastern fringe on Monday, hours before militants punctured the Kurdish front lines and advanced into the town itself.

KURDISH FIGHTER DEILAR KANJI KHAMIS BECOMES FIRST FEMALE TO CARRY OUT SUICIDE BOMB ATTACK AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE MILITANTS
Death: Deilar Kanj Khamis, known by the nom de guerre Arin Mirkan, blew herself up at an IS position east of the border town, killing ten jihadists
A female Kurdish fighter carried out a suicide bomb attack against advancing Islamic State militants, it has emerged.
Deilar Kanj Khamis, known by her military name Arin Mirkan, blew herself up at an IS position east of the border town of Kobane, killing ten jihadists.
It was the first known case of a female Kurdish fighter carrying out a suicide bomb attack against ISIS.
As Kurdish fighters withdrew from a position on the strategic hill of Mistenur, above the city, Khamis stayed behind.
In a desperate attempt to stop them advancing, she attacked IS fighters with gunfire and grenades and then eventually blew herself up, according to a defence official in Syria's Kurdish region.
She was among 15 fighters who 'martyred' themselves after facing jihadists, 'with all their strength', it was reported in a statement.
According to sources, she was a mother with two children, though this was unconfirmed.
While there is little else known about Mirkan, she was a member of the Women's Protection Unit, a branch of the Peoples Protection Units. The force has more than 10,000 female fighters who played a major role in the battles against IS.
Yesterday the force suggested all of their fighters would martyr themselves if it meant defeating IS and protecting the pivotal border town.

David Cameron faced fresh pressure to extend the RAF’s air campaign against IS into Syria, while Kurdish officials and analysts said the extremists would only be defeated by ground troops.
Charlie Cooper, a spokesman at the Quilliam Foundation, a British counter-extremism think-tank, told the Mail: ‘Air strikes won’t really work because IS are continually changing tactics.
'What they do now is they run and shelter when they hear the planes coming, and while it may slow them down, it does not kill them.’
In Iraq, US forces have begun attacking IS forces with helicopter gunships, which are supposed to be limited to protecting the American embassy in Baghdad.
Low-flying Apache helicopters, which can be mounted with machine guns, rather than bombs, are said to be the closest thing to ground troops without putting boots on the ground.

Three hours after Samya Dirie’s parents alerted officers on September 24, she got on a flight from Heathrow to Turkey with another girl.
The girls are believed to have met online and arranged to travel to Syria, apparently to join Islamic State militants. Samya, 17, from Stockwell, South London, was a dedicated student, her family said yesterday.
She has not contacted her parents, but has told a cousin she is ‘far away’ and fears what the police will do if she returns. Her father Abidirashiid Dirie issued an emotional plea, saying: ‘You haven’t committed any crime. Come back safely.’

TURKEY DEMANDS U.S. ATTACK SYRIAN PRESIDENT BASHAR AL-ASSAD AS A CONDITION FOR SUPPORT IN FIGHTING AGAINST ISLAMIC STATE MILITANTS
Turkey has demanded the U.S. carry out military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad a a condition for further Turkish support in fighting against Islamic State militants.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that a no-fly zone must immediately be put in place over Syria to protect the Turkish border from both the threat of attack, as well as millions of Syrian refugees who have poured into the country during three years of intense fighting.
In order to put a no-fly zone in place, however, the U.S. would need to conduct targeted strikes on Assad's air defences, as well as provide additional support for millions of potential refugees.
'We want to have a no-fly zone, we want to have a safe have on our border,' Mr Davutoglu told CNN News.
Turkey is reluctant to assist Kurdish fighters because they are affiliated with the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - a group recently described as 'the same as ISIS' by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (pictured)
'Otherwise all these burdens will continue to go on the shoulder of Turkey and other neighbouring countries,' he said, referring to the refugee crisis.
'We are ready to do everything if there is a clear strategy that, after ISIS, we can be sure our border is protected,' Mr Davutoglu went on to say.
Turkey has been criticised for an apparent lack of effort in targeting ISIS in neighbouring Syria and Iraq, although talks will take place next week to discuss the country's contribution to the U.S./Arab coalition currently carrying out airstrikes on the terror group.
Turkey has been reluctant to assist Syrian Kurdish fighters battling against ISIS because they are affiliated with the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) - a group recently described as 'the same as ISIS' by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkey has also been accused of 'doing deals' with ISIS, agreeing to allow up to 180 detained militants - including British-born jihadists - to rejoin the group, in return for the release of 46 Turkish citizens and three local Iraqi staff captured in the city of Mosul five months ago.
