Turkey's air war against southern Kurdistan continues. Fighter jets bombed the village of Sergelê in the district of Amadiya on Sunday. According to the RojNews agency, property damage was caused to an as yet unknown extent. However, it is unclear whether any people were injured. As the region continues to be overflown by fighter jets, it has not yet been possible to inspect the area.

The village of Sergelê is located just under ten kilometers east of Amadiya and in the administrative area of the Duhok governorate. The village is frequently targeted by the Turkish state. At the end of January, fighter jets bombed a farm in Sergelê. The estate was evacuated in time. A few days before the attack, a guerrilla unit of the People's Defense Forces (HPG) was ambushed by KDP troops in the village and two guerrillas were injured.

Sergelê, like many other villages in the region, is of strategic value to the Turkish state as it borders on Gare. The massif is part of the Medya Defense Zones, which are controlled by Kurdish guerrillas and defended against Turkish occupation efforts. The shortest way to reach the mountains from the ground is through Amadiya. The Turkish state's constant air strikes serve to wear down the population and drive them out of their residential areas. These attacks often lead to fatalities.

On Friday night, two Kurdish civilians were killed in a Turkish air strike on a village on the slopes of the Gare massif. In an attack the Saturday before last, a farmer in a settlement near Amadiya was injured. The Yezidi settlement area of Shengal is also repeatedly attacked by Turkish fighter jets. On Friday, Mecdel Feqîr, a battalion commander of the Şengal Resistance Units (YBŞ), was killed by a drone attack. The 32-year-old father of one son was a survivor of the ISIS genocide in 2014.
