At least 120 civilians have been killed by the Daesh group since the jihadists entered the flashpoint Syrian town of Kobane just over 24 hours ago, a monitoring group said Friday.

"According to medical sources and Kobane residents, 120 civilians were executed by Daesh in their homes or killed by the group's rockets or snipers," said Rami Abdel Rahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
