BEHDÎNAN – HPG-BİM stated in a written statement that they could not predict that the invaders would encounter great resistance from the guerrilla and were “shocked”.
THEY ARE SHOCKED
The statement stated:
“The effective actions of our forces against the occupation operation launched against the Zap and Avaşîn areas continue successfully and with results. The invaders, who could not foresee that they would encounter such guerrilla resistance, were shocked. Clashes between the invaders, who suffered heavy losses, and our forces continue. Likewise, the bombardments and fighter jets against our areas continue uninterruptedly. The invading Turkish state is trying to hide its losses by stating that our forces have suffered many losses with their special war lies. What Turkish private war media has stated about our losses is completely false and does not reflect the truth.”
41 INVESTORS PUNISHED
HPG-BİM stated that the guerrilla has lost 5 martyrs so far, while the invaders have lost at least 41 in the last 24 hours.
The statement said:
“During the war until now, 5 of our comrades have been martyred. When the registration information of our friends becomes clear, it will be shared with the public.
Only in the last 24 hours, 41 soldiers of the invading Turkish army were punished, 5 soldiers were injured and 2 drones were shot down.”
