To the Press and Public!

Our HPG, YJA-Star and YBS forces jointly launched an operation in the area of Bare and surrounding area, on 13 November. As a result of this operation, the three villages in the area of Bare and the Hills have been cleaned from the ISIS gangs and all the area taken over.

Also as a result of this operation more than 10 gangs killed and many others wounded. Also, 9 weapons and much other military equipment confiscated. As a result of this operation, our forces also close the Road of Bare-Silo for the use of gangs.

 

Some of the media outlets distributing false news on this operation as it are done by the Pesmerge forces. These reports do not reflect the truth and are not ethic. Our Central Commandment and we, as Commandment of Sengal, have been calling for a joint military Commandment and action, since 3 August 2014. Yet, the Pesmerge forces did not carry any action whatsoever in the Sengal region and has not approached for the Joint Commandment and action as well, until now. These forces have never seen the Village of Bare until now, as well. Once more, we call on these forces not to take any responsibility of those successful actions we carry out, and to create a joint commandment of action and take their places in real resistance actions.

As result of these 2 days of operation total of military equipment confiscated are:

1 12, 5 mm air-defence weapon and 4 box of its bullets; 2 BKC weapons, almost 5000 of its bullets, 2 bullet chains and a spare barrel; 3 AK-47, 105 magazines and almost 1000 bullets, 1 B-7 together with 5 of its rockets; 1 BKT; 1 pistol and a magazine; 1 small walkie-talkie; 2 magazine holders; 3 Binoculars; 12 Steel Vests; and more military equipment and logistics have been confiscated.
