Silent, patient, lethal: he wanders around the remains of the city wearing his ghillie suit, the camouflage suit invented by the first English snipers during the First World War, wears long and thick 'mustaches', like those of Oliver North in Vietnam.
His name is Haron and he is the example of a lone Kurdish sniper who in Kobane decimated the ISIS jiadists fighting street by street, house by house: framing the enemy in the precision optics of his Soviet-made SVD Dragunov, and pulling the trigger for the freedom of his people.
The city of Kobane, in western Syria or Syrian Kurdistan, was liberated from jihadist occupation by Kurdish forces in January 2015.
This video, released last week, is an intense and crude example of how IS is being fought in Syria.
