The online portal Gerîla TV published footage of an action directed against Turkish soldiers in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq).

According to the HPG Press Center statement detailing the action, guerrillas struck the soldiers at Girê Biyê outpost in the Bêgova town of Zakho district at 12:00 on 6 November. Strikes with heavy weapons left three soldiers dead and one other injured.


Turkey has been trying to capture the Zap, Avaşîn and Metîna areas in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), controlled by the HPG and YJA Star guerrilla armies, for two years. The guerrillas resist the occupation of their territories in underground positions and with small mobile groups and fight the Turkish troops with high sacrifice and different tactics. Many guerrilla actions are filmed, and videos of the resistance are repeatedly published on Gerîla TV.
