Rumors that the Islamic Terror, ISIS, captured and killed a female Kurdish fighter, known to the world as "Rehana" after gruesome images of a decapitated woman were released on the Web by the radical Muslim group. 

iRumorMill.com Determination: Hoax

There were unconfirmed reports on October 28, 2014, that the female Kurdish fighter known to the world as "Rehana" is feared dead "after gruesome pictures began circulating on Twitter of an Isis fighter purportedly holding aloft her head." This according to an October 28, 2014 article by the Daily Mail in England that said, "[the] 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 article said that she quickly became 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."

UPDATE:

The iRumorMill.com Crew learned of a recent development of this story today. Rehana is said to be alive and well, according to an article released by England's mirror. The British paper released a message from Kurdish journalist Pawan Durani that the allegations of her demise were "untrue."  Durani wrote today: “Rehana is very much alive. ISIS supporters just trying to lift morale. Tigress is hunting for more. Let ISIS produce even a single picture of Rehana. Propaganda and falsehood runs in their blood. Rehana keeps hunting them." 

According to a Daily Mail article released later today, "friends of Rehana have told MailOnline that the dead woman in the photograph is in fact a different Kurdish resistance fighter, adding that Rehana managed to escape Kobane during intense fighting there last week."
