Turkish security forces are really getting professional at drone assassinations in these past couple years. I really can't count all the news I have seen about some PKK rats being blown to pieces in their cars somewhere south of the border... 
Hopefully that is only the beginning.

Also the amount of intelligence work is not to be underestimated, the sheer number of those assasinations or cross border intelligence operations are CIA or Mossad level.Turkish security forces are really getting professional at drone assassinations in these past couple years.

MIT definitely stepped up its game in recent years too.

By neutralizing the PKK/KCK/YPG and other terrorist elements; In order to eliminate the terrorist attacks against our people and security forces from the North of Iraq and Syria and to ensure our border security; In line with our self-defense rights arising from Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, the Winter Eagle Air Operation was carried out against terrorist nests in the Derik, Sinjar and Karacak regions in the North of Iraq and Syria, which are used as bases by terrorists.
In the Winter Eagle Operation carried out; shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots and so-called headquarters and training camps belonging to terrorists who threaten our country, nation and border security were targeted. In the planning and execution of the operation, maximum sensitivity was shown for the safety of life and property of the civilian population and the protection of the environment.
After the operation, in which mostly domestic and national ammunition was used, all of our aircraft returned safely to their bases.
The Turkish Armed Forces, who emerged from the bosom of our noble nation, will continue the fight against terrorism for the security of our country and nation with determination and determination until the last terrorist is neutralized.
It has been determined that PKK/YPG terrorists previously dug tunnels in the village of Tel Bakir at the foot of Derik/Karacok Mountain, where Turkish warplanes carried out air operations.

Mounting Rumors that this Year TAF and Peshmerga (Erbil Gov. Soldiers) will jointly start an big Operation against PKK in Iraq.
In the statement, it was stated that sites close to the KDP were preparing the ground for an attack with fake news.
“As we enter the year of struggle in 2022, it has been discussed in the Bashure Kurdistan press for days that the Turkish state will launch a new invasion operation, that it has agreed with the KDP and made joint plans for this. According to the news in the Bashure Kurdistan press, the Turkish state will launch its operation this year with the direct participation of the KDP.
It is written that the KDP will join the Turkish state's operation and put the peshmerga to war against the guerrilla. Similar information has been coming to us for a while. We have disclosed such information to the public on various occasions. However, it is also discussed in the press that the KDP has not given up on its decision to join the Turkish state's operation and is making war preparations.
There was a Security Council Meeting March 23rd 2022.
The National Security Council (NSC), chaired by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan , convened in Beştepe with the national and regional security agenda.
The meeting lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes.
"The wish to advance the political processes in Iraq in a way that will consolidate the stability in the country was expressed, and the importance attributed to the security and peace of the Iraqi people was emphasized, and it was noted that our fight against terrorist organizations would continue with determination."

This is likely about Gas Imports through Turkey but in order to ensure safety of the Pipeline PKK/HPG needs to be finished in the region.

Why do the attacks even stop anyway? For Syria I get it. We need to wait for the right time due to diplomatical reasons(though I dont know if we will ever get a better time than Ukrainian war) but for Iraq I dont get it.
Because of the winter?

Yes the Conditions are horrendous during the Winter.
Between April and September you have a Window in which the Mountains are mostly free of Snow.
Process of Operation:
1. Air Assault 2. Landing 3. Camp 4. Camp turns into Base 5. Logistics (Roads and Bridges to that Base) 6. Caves need to be Searched and Destroyed
Roughly.
All that in the April > September Time Window.
Summer vs Winter

@Barzani you support operations against PKK?
For 3-4 days, the Zap region in the north of Iraq has been heavily bombed by artillery units and aircraft of the TAF.
Operations continue very quickly.

“In the operation carried out within the scope of the prepared plan, terrorist targets in Metina, Zap and Avaşin-Basyan regions were first fired by our air forces. Our heroic pilots successfully hit targets consisting of shelters, bunkers, caves, tunnels, ammunition depots and so-called headquarters belonging to the terrorist organization. The targets determined by Fırtına, MLRA and other artillery elements were heavily fired and hit with full accuracy. Our Hero Commandos and Bordeaux Berets, supported by our ATAK helicopters, UAVs and SİHAs, infiltrated the region by infiltrating the land and by air attack operation. So far, our operation continues successfully as planned. The targets set in the first phase have been achieved.”
