The Turkish army launched an invasion in the Zap, Metina and Avashin regions in the guerrilla-controlled Medya Defense Zones on April 23. The HPG and YJA-Star guerrilla organizations are resisting and striking the invading forces on a daily basis.
The online portal Gerîla TV has published footage of an action by the guerrillas from YJA-Star (Free Women’s Troops) against Turkish army soldiers in the Metina region of Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq). In the video from May 5, scenes of an assault on a nine-man military unit can be seen.
As HPG had reported earlier, the action took place at Şehîd Çiya hill in Zendura area. "The unit was on the move and was taken under control by guerrillas. Seven soldiers were killed and two others were injured during the course of the action. The Turkish army later transported the dead and wounded away by helicopters," it said of the details.
