The online portal Gerîla TV has published footage of an action by the women's guerrilla YJA-Star (Yekîtiya Jinên Azad) against soldiers of the Turkish army at the Lêlîkan hill in Xakurke. The video is from May 22 and shows the destruction of a military position. The People's Defense Forces (HPG) had reported on the action that four members of the Turkish army were killed.

Turkey launched an occupation operation in Xakurke in May 2019. The mountainous area north of Sîdekan is located in the border triangle between Turkey, Iran and Iraq. The region thus represents a place of strategic importance.

We would like to point out that the following video shows explicit war scenes.
