Azad Ezdin, one of the terrorist organization PKK's Sinjar responsible, was neutralized in the operation carried out by MIT with UAVs.
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. 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.
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

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.
