BEHDINAN – HPG Press Center shared the following information regarding the details of the war in a written statement:
“The Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla, which continues to resist against unprecedented and unprecedented attacks in history with a high self-sacrifice and Apoist self-sacrificing spirit, is the biggest obstacle to the colonial and genocidal Turkish state’s exploitation plans on the Middle East, especially on Kurdistan. In order to remove this obstacle, the glorious resistance of our forces continues against the invading Turkish army, which attacks without borders with inhumane methods. In addition to tactical nuclear bombs and chemical weapons, the invading Turkish army set fire to plastic materials and car wheels in front of the battle positions in the Werxelê Resistance Area and tried to divert the poisonous gases emanating from them into the battle positions.
In the actions carried out under the leadership of our mobile teams; 6 invaders were punished, 3 invaders were injured and 1 attack helicopter and 1 drone were hit. The invading Turkish army, on the other hand, covers the Resistance Areas; It bombed 17 times with tactical nuclear bombs and chemical weapons, 25 times with warplanes and dozens of tanks.
The details of the actions taken and the attacks made are as follows;
A GUERILLA HAS BEEN MARTYRED IN GARZAN
Intense clashes took place between our forces and the invaders during the enemy operation in the Nizarê Azê area of Bedlîs’ Xîzan district on 14 July. During the clashes, 2 invaders were punished and 3 invaders were injured. In these conflicts, our comrade Sara fought selflessly until her last breath and reached martyrdom by detonating her own bomb in order not to be captured by the enemy. We promise that we will certainly accomplish the revolutionary tasks that our comrade Sara, who is one of the representatives of the egalitarian truth of the free Kurdish woman and the irresistible self-sacrificing spirit of the Berîtans, handed over to us, and that we will crown the struggle with victory.
The identity information of our comrade Sara, who has been martyred, is as follows:

Code Name: Sara Xebat Name Surname: Leyla Yıldızgörer Place of Birth: Şirinex Mother – Father Name: Azime – Mustafa Martyrdom Date and Place: 14 July 2022 / Garzan |
Our comrade Sara was born in a patriotic family in the village of Hewler in the resistance city of Cizîra Botan. Because of its patriotic nature, Hewler village was heavily exposed to enemy pressure, but she never gave in to the enemy’s impositions. Because of this, the invading Turkish state burned the village of Hewler and the family of our comrade Sara had to migrate to the city of Cizîr, like many other patriotic families from Kurdistan. Our comrade Sara, who spent her childhood with these cruel practices of the enemy, started to understand and recognize the reality of the enemy better when she went to colonial schools. The activities carried out by the enemy to assimilate the Kurdish people and carry out the genocide helped our comrade Sara get to know the PKK, which was the leader of the Kurdistan Freedom Struggle. Again, the participation from the family circle caused our comrade Sara to go on a quest and deepen these searches. Our comrade Sara, who has a rebellious personality, has always rejected the status given to women in society and the lifestyle that women deserve, and has struggled against it. She felt that all her honorable efforts were incomplete. As both a woman and a Kurd, she realizes that the only way to have a decent life is to wage a more effective struggle. She understood that this was possible by joining the guerrilla in the PKK and she joined the guerrilla ranks in 2013. He felt that all his honorable efforts were incomplete. As both a woman and a Kurd, she realized that the only way to lead a humane life is to wage a more effective struggle.

She understood that this was possible by joining the guerrilla in the PKK and she joined the guerrilla ranks in 2013.
Comrade Sara, who showed an enthusiastic and enthusiastic participation when she reached the Kurdistan mountains, moved to the Medya Defense Zones after staying in the Judi and Besta areas for a while. With the competence and experience of being a guerrilla in Bakurê Kurdistan, he confidently participated in the works. Because of this feature, she gained the love, respect and trust of her comrades. She did not accept any results other than success in every work she took part in, and she worked tremendously to be successful. In the face of the ISIS gangs’ attack on Shengal, like every Apoist militant, they went to the Shengal area and fought against these inhumane gangs. Our comrade Sara, who took part in the resistance developed in the Shengal area, closely witnessed the heroic epics that emerged here. He recorded the historical moments for our Êzidî people with a guerrilla camera and conveyed them to our people and the public, and made the Shengal Resistance be heard by the whole world. Comrade Sara, like all HPG members, returned to the Medya Defense Zones after the Kurdistan Freedom Guerrilla and YBŞ-YJŞ forces liberated Shengal from the occupation of ISIS mercenaries.
Comrade Sara, who participated in the education process at Mahsum Korkmaz Academy in order to account for the difficult and instructive war practice she lived and to learn the necessary lessons, has focused very strongly on education in order to better understand and apply the Leadership ideology. She has developed the principles of free women and the characteristics of Democratic Modernity Guerrillaism in her personality with the deep concentrations she has experienced. Our comrade Sara, who does not distinguish between field and duty to fight, Due to the martyrdom of our brother Xebat (Mahmut Yıldızgörer) in 2017, he had a great insistence to go to Bakurê Kurdistan and fight there. In order to realize this wish, he trained himself in many fields and moved to the Garzan field as a competent YJA Star commander. During his time in the Garzan area, he set an example for all his comrades with his Apoist militant stance and duly fulfilled his pioneering duties. Again, he participated in the actions developed against the enemy in the Garzan area and had a share in inflicting heavy blows on the enemy.

Our comrade Sara, who considers her participation in the guerrilla as a rebirth, and who participated in the life of the PKK, which was created at great cost, with love; He set an example for all his comrades with his honesty, simplicity and unwavering participation in the revolutionary work. We extend our condolences to all the patriotic people of Kurdistan, especially to the valuable family of our comrade Sara, who managed to become one of the most valuable representatives of our freedom struggle under the leadership of YJA Star, and the patriotic people of Botan.
