BEIRUT (Reuters) - Islamic State fighters seized a Syrian town back from Kurdish-led forces near Raqqa city on Monday, a group monitoring the war reported, recovering ground near its de facto capital two days after it was pummelled in heavy U.S.-led air strikes.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Islamic State forces had taken Ain Issa and surrounding areas from the YPG militia, which only seized the town from Islamic State control two weeks ago.
