Again, within the scope of the Martyr Bager and Martyr Ronya Revolutionary Movement, on June 23, at 19.30, our forces carried out a raid against the positions affiliated to Perixan police station near Gever.
Our forces infiltrated the positions of a group of soldiers carrying out compass activities in the area, where they effectively hit the soldiers from 2 different branches. In this action, 3 soldiers, one of which was a corporal, were punished and 1 soldier was injured.
