- ISIS has shared a photo online purporting to show the beheading of a female Kurdish fighter who was hailed on social media for killing 100 jihadists.
It has been reported that there are up to 10,000 female soldiers, with most being trained as snipers.
The new unit was formed in April to fight ISIS and their radical view of the place of Muslim women in a society.
"It's not strange that women are fighting," Wahida Kushta, an elderly Kobani woman told AP after preparing the body of a young female fighter for burial.
"There is no difference between a lion and a lioness."
Kurdish resistance is increasingly relying on its female fighters to save the town on what appears as a desperate fight for survival
Neither the news of Rehana's death, nor the number of people she has killed, can be independently verified.
