A female Kurdish fighter who became a poster girl for the Kobane resistance movement after a picture of her making a peace sign was retweeted thousands of times on Twitter has reportedly been beheaded by Isis.

The woman, known by the pseudonym Rehana, was celebrated as a symbol of hope for the embattled Syrian border town after a journalist tweeted a picture of her making a 'V-sign', claiming that she'd personally killed 100 Isis militants.

The message was retweeted over 5,000 times, but there are now claims Rehana, who fought for the Kurdish YPJ, or Women's Defense Unit, may have been killed after gruesome pictures began circulating on Twitter of an Isis fighter purportedly holding aloft her head.

Isn't it you who advocates fighting terror with terror? Bit of a double standard there when it's your boys who are in the role of the "Israeli's" and THEY are the ones invading someone else's territory and butchering the locals who don't want them.

What a two faced hypocritical asshole you are.

Did you really expect the biggest most hate filled scumbag troll to post something rational?

She fought for the YPJ which is a spin-off of the PPK.

The PPK is listed as a terrorist organization by both the U.S and Turkey.

She fought for the YPJ which is a spin-off of the PPK.

The PPK is listed as a terrorist organization by both the U.S and Turkey.

It is not a spin off. The YPJ is a nationalistic group that was formed to protect ALL Kurds and other than being allied with the PPK in the effort to defeat ISIS and protection of Kurds there is little political or ideological in common with the two. There is no evidence or specific allegation of members of YPJ having been involved in terrorist attacks, certainly not this girl.
