HSM congratulates the guerrillas and commanders who continue to deal blows to the Turkish army that has been conducting an invasion campaign in the guerrilla-held Medya Defense Zones in southern Kurdistan (northern Iraq) since mid-April.
People's Defence Centre (HSM) Headquarters Command sent a congratulatory message to the commanders and fighters of the Egîdên Botanê Martyr Diljîn–Martyr Şervan Êrkendî Campaign.
The HSM Headquarters Command said the following in its message:
“On October 13, a successful coordinated operation, which employed the guerrilla warfare of the new era, was carried out against the invaders in the Kato Xelîla area of the Şax (Çatak) district of Wan (Van). Mobile YJA Star (Free Women’s Troops) teams killed 10 invaders and injured another by effectively hitting the enemy troops with individual weapons from three different directions.
This successful YJA Star action proved once again the professional team style introduced by the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla to be decisive in every field. The colonial Turkish state attempted to conceal the heavy blow it received by reporting through its special war media the death of only one of its soldiers. With this action, the mobile teams dealt a serious blow to the enemy troops at the most unexpected moment and place, reinforcing the ongoing Egîdên Botanê Martyr Diljîn–Martyr Şervan Êrkendî Campaign. The professional team war, the warfare style of the current period, was practiced properly with high creativity. This blow inflicted on the invaders, who claim technological superiority over the guerrilla troops, has once again frustrated the special war propaganda of the invaders and became a successful example of the Freedom Guerrilla's ability to employ advanced tactical moves with its high combat performance.
Our forces, who have been resisting hundreds of operations and thousands of attacks by the invaders in Bakur (North Kurdistan) and at the same time carrying out effective actions with a high offensive spirit and brilliant tactical creativity, have concretely demonstrated how the mobile professional team warfare of the guerrilla forces has become the name of the march to victory.
We congratulate all the commanders and fighters who carried out this effective action and dealt a serious blow to the invaders, especially our mobile YJA Star teams who have taken part in the Egîdên Botanê Martyr Diljîn–Martyr Şervan Êrkendî Campaign and fought with great will and faith.”
