On 26 August, the Turkish military brutally attacked a nomad family in the Bameydan hamlet near the village of Hêlin in the Silvan district of Amed (tr. Diyarbakır). The family's tent was burnt down, and several members were severely beaten. Pictures shared by soldiers on social media show two male family members in their underwear with their hands tied behind their backs near the rear wheels of a wheeled tank. This demonstrates the ferocity of the attack. Several guerrilla fighters were apparently also killed in the attack. Photographs circulated on X by soldiers show three yellow body bags. ANF investigated on the ground and tried to obtain information about the incident.

Initially, a group of villagers tried to reach the site of the incident. However, as the hamlet had been sealed off by the military, this was not possible at first. Throughout 26 August, both residents and journalists tried to obtain detailed information. However, it was not possible to draw reliable conclusions from the reports at that time.

On 27 August, media professionals were able to examine the crime scene together with a delegation of the Green Left Party MPs and civil society. Here, a picture of horror presented itself. As can also be seen in the footage, part of the area was set on fire. It could be seen that the tent and some animals of the nomad family had been burnt. There were no traces of clashes at the site. Neither cartridge cases nor bullets were to be found anywhere. Therefore, the question clearly arises whether the guerrillas were executed extrajudicially.

The fire at the tent was also apparently not caused by a skirmish but was set by the military. After visiting the scene, MP Adalet Kaya stated that there were no traces of clashes. Although much is unclear, the signs point to a massacre. After visiting the scene, the delegation went to pay condolences to the family of one of the fallen guerrillas. The delegation demanded immediate investigation of the case. The bodies of three guerrillas are currently in the Diyarbakir Forensic Medicine Institute. It is still unclear if and when they will be handed over to the families.
