The fact that this militarily and tactically successful action was also carried out to avenge the Şehîds of Besta, in the person of our brave commander Leyla Sorxwîn, against the enemy forces that were conducting an operation and plundering the nature of Kurdistan, made your action even more significant. This action of yours has shown once again how effective and fruitful it is when the line of the Şehîds is followed, when the specialized team fighting style and guerrilla tactics are applied creatively.
The Turkish army, which suffered heavy casualties in this action, both hid their casualties and tried to lessen the impact of this action, claiming that we had two casualties. It is also an important success that the bombings and the operation following this action, in which no casualties were suffered and, on the contrary, heavy casualties were inflicted on the enemy, ” to lessen the impact of this action by claiming that we had two casualties.
