Around 100 people from Lice have headed to the operation area as human shields against the intense bombing that started immediately after a “curfew” was declared in 10 villages in Amed’s Silvan district.

The human shields heading to Şêlima and Hindês under bombardment with fighter jets have arrived in Zarê village between Lice and Silvan despite attempts at stopping them.

The human shields were not allowed through to operation area and they keep waiting in the village of Zarê. The rural and mountainous area immediately across the village is under intense bombing.

Citizens from surrounding neighborhoods are coming to support the human shields.

Meanwhile, the soldiers stationed in the neighborhoods of Silvan block citizens who are trying to get to operation area from Hindês and Malê Gir neighborhoods.
