Intense airstrikes were conducted against targets in Tepe Bahar area.
Turkish Armed Forces, Kani Blava, west of Metina. The Turkish Armed Forces have significantly reduced the freedom movement of PKK in Metina, both from the villages inside and from the villages outside. There is pressure on Metina from every point. We can say that Metina is currently encircled.
Tonight T-129 ATAK helicopters of the Turkish Armed Forces targeted PKK terrorist organization positions in Metina/Baze.
And as we talk about the big success of this operation guess who is entering the show (again).
Of course the Iranian proxies of the Islamic Resistance of Iraq .

Statement:
"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Permission is given to those who are being fought because they were wronged. And indeed, Allah for their victory (is) surely Able.
Allah has spoken the truth
The brutal Turkish forces carried out a barbaric attack, occupied new villages, and terrorized the people of our beloved Iraq, without prior coordination with or knowledge of the central government. Astonished by the complete silence of the regional government, which by its silence supported this invasion, the Iraqi resistance expresses its readiness to expel the occupier from the lands of Iraq, as it did with ISIS terrorist organizations, whoever they are and wherever they are, and we call on the Iraqi parliament to hold an emergency session to clarify its position on these attacks.
Therefore, the occupying Turkish forces must immediately withdraw from Iraq in order to preserve the blood and dignity of its forces and God is the supporter of the believers

Now, this comes after the extreme success of TSK in its operation in Metina and the focus moving at critical points like the tunnel networks in Metina and Tepe Bahar. We also know that intensive work is being carried out at the location of the tunnel network in Seri.
This comes after a statement by General Mohammed Sakr al-Saiedi, Commander of the Border Forces of the Iraqi Ministry of Internal Affairs who is stating:
"Iraq has not had checkpoints along the Iraq-Turkey border throughout its history, which has led to the operation of illegal armed individuals.
We are coordinating with the Turkish side to establish a common coordination center so that there will be no conflict between our troops and Turkish troops and we can build checkpoints on the Iraq-Turkey border strip.
We initially got positive results regarding coordination, but nothing concrete has happened on the field yet, but there is a serious effort. "I hope there will be a great understanding between the two countries because this is an important and big issue."
By what we see on the field in the face of Turkish troops conducting ID checks in the villages in Metina, Zap and Hakurk, conducting patrols on foot and establishing control points, we can understand that the Iraqi forces intervention is not enough or simply said, the Iraqi side don't want to do what it needs to do.
The operation is going on in full coordination with the Peshmerga forces. We can see the strategic planning and the big picture. The areas that currently TSK is patrolling and the points at which TSK is positioned are all points where Peshmergas were positioned previously. Peshmerga started the preparation for this operation years before the actual intervention by establishing base areas and gathering critical information on the areas of operation, so when TSK arrives everything is ready for TSK intervention.
