Footage of action against Turkish soldiers at Girê Amêdî

Footage of an action carried out by the Martyr Bedran Gundikremo Vengeance Unit teams against the Turkish invading forces at Girê Amêdî in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) has been released.

Martyr Bedran Gundikremo Vengeance Unit released footage of the action carried out by their units against the Turkish invading forces at Girê (Hill) Amêdî with heavy weapons at 5.20 am on 21 July. In the video published on Saturday, soldiers can be seen fleeing in panic.


The Girê Amêdî in the west of the Zap region in guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones has been fiercely contested since the beginning of July, and the Turkish army has expanded its occupation operation into the region west of the Zap. In the resistance area of Girê Amêdî near the district of Amadiya in Duhok governorate, the Turkish army airdropped troops 31 times on 4 July after massive air strikes. The guerrillas continue to resist the occupation.

The revenge unit named after Bedran Gundikremo (Sait Tanıt, also known as Bedran Cûdî) repeatedly carries out actions targeting Turkish bases in southern Kurdistan. Gundikremo was a long-time freedom fighter and guerrilla commander from Şırnak in northern Kurdistan. He was martyred in a Turkish air strike in Amadiya in April 2017 together with his son and three other fighters.
