The Turkish army launched an operation in Amed, Bingöl, Muş and Batman countryside on 24 December with the participation of thousands of soldiers.

It has been reported that special units were sent to mountainous areas in four cities by helicopters, while special units were dispatched to some points by 4x4 type closed-back civilian vehicles.

In the region where Helicopter and Armed Unmanned Aerial Vehicles activity is experienced, artillery fire was heard in some areas.

It has been reported that military units deliberately set forests on fire, especially in the mountainous areas of the rural neighbourhoods between Kulp and Muş. The fire, which started at two different points, went out on its own after a day.

The operation was brought to an end in many areas while continuing in some strategic regions.

The Turkish state systematically burns Kurdish forests on the grounds of the operation, but the reality is that it has been plundering forests in many regions for years. Especially in the regions of Besta, Cudi and Gabar in the province of Şirnex, trees have been cut down intensively for two years. Every summer, fires are started in dozens of areas for military reasons, and no intervention is allowed.
