Gates of Hell: civilians flee to enter Turkey as kurdish forces closes in on ISIS held border

ByDino Hours

Syrian refugees broke through a barbed wire fence in a desperate bid to flee from the ISIS-held border town of Tal Abyad and cross into Turkey.

Turkish troops had watched on helplessly yesterday as heavily-armed ISIS terrorists blocked the border crossing at Tal Abyad, where some 13,000 civilians have crossed over the past ten days.

The men, women and children were stopped at gunpoint almost within touching distance of the border town of Akcakale.

However, backed by allied rebels and air strikes by a U.S.-led coalition – Kurdish forces pressed forward with their offensive on Tal Abyad and advanced to within three miles of the border town.
