Hundreds of Isis supporters escape as Turkey continues offensive
Smoke rises from the Syrian town of Ras al-Ayn after Turkish bombardment

HUNDREDS of Isis supporters and family members have escaped a camp in northern Syria as Turkish troops continued their offensive in the Kurdish region.

Turkish troops and their allies took over the towns of Hassakeh and Ain Eissa, where a camp is home to thousands of displaced people including around 1,000 wives and widows of Isis fighters and their children.

But reports suggested the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had come to an agreement with the Syrian and Russian governments for them to send troops to defend Kobane and Manbij from Turkish assault.
