Meanwhile our air forces are continuing their work. 10 PKK terrorists detected in the Qandil and Hakurk regions in northern Iraq were neutralized.
Regular patrols, search and destroy operations are also going on from the ground. IED that was found in the Claw-Lock AO was destroyed by our EOD teams.
Commander of the Land Forces, General Selcuk BAYRAKTAROGLU, inspected the Claw Operations, which continue successfully in the north of Iraq, on site.
Complicated but gist of it is that Iraqis, KRG and we left them to fend for themselves against ISIS. PKK and US basically worked together for a time there. Turns out, huge mistake on our part.Why do so many Yazidis join the PKK.
The ybs logo seems to be ancient persian symbol. Yazidism also has Zoroastrianism in its religion.
I always wonder how would it be if Turkey would fight against ISIS when they emerged at our borders instead of US and pkk to fill the void there.Complicated but gist of it is that Iraqis, KRG and we left them to fend for themselves against ISIS.

My thoughts are that Davutoglu's "Arab opening" (really Muslim brotherhood opening) with Arabs on the border was completely wrong, as it is mostly Kurds on the border with Syria and Iraq overall. Hitting ISIS early and becoming the patron of the Kurdish entity in Syria moulded to our liking would have ensured we had friendly entities on all sides of our borders that we had major influence in and prevented the spread of the PKK.
Furthermore the availability of alternatives would have meant the SNA entity would either have to be better and fight Assad or be abandoned if they continued infighting, criminality. We would have much more say in Syria and Iraq. We likely would have strengthened the more sensible SNA factions instead of the crazy islamic ones.
Instead the PKK spread everywhere alongside Iranian IRGC and Iranian proxies.
I sometimes think this is what Erdogan wanted, because what better way to turn the public against the west than to declare a conflict with a western proxy on the borders? This would make campaigning, elections so much easier for Erdogan in addition to supporting his idealogy.
It seems that a permanent base is being established on the Tatasara hill in Hakurk, which has been deployed in the past weeks.
After the Claw-2 operation, that is, after 4 years, an forward hill was taken in Hakurk for the first time.

It seems rats attacked our forward bases, establishments by using their usual tactic. Pin down the positions by using heavy weapons(Mortars and RPG's) then try to infiltrate bases under cover of heavy mechine gun fire.Unfortunately the terrorists managed to pull simultaneous attacks yesterday morning by using mortars and infiltration attempts at many TSK points in the area of Gapnerk Mountain and Matin Mountain.
In the attack on one of the points where the Special Forces are tasked in Matin Infantry First Lieutenant Abdullah KOSE was heavily injured and unfortunately fell martyr. May Allah accept his martyrdom.

In result of these attacks TSK inflicted heavy damage to PKK. In the Matin infiltration against the Special Forces, 5 terrorists were killed initially and 5 more were killed in the following actions.
1 terrorist was killed in the Gapnerk Mountain area.
The terrorists used the opportunity that came with the bad weather in the last couple of days including heavy rain and fog. They first hit the TSK points with heavy weapons, tried to pull out infiltrations and even tried to hit the reinforcements that were coming.

It depends which area of the Turkish border we take as a reference but approximately it should look like this.Sorry, but can you give us an estimate of distance to our national borders from the objectives listed ?
This doesn't seem secure for our troops. What if car crashes to them?PKK reported serious on foot movement of Turkish soldiers around Dure in Berwari Bala region in Duhok. Tens of soldiers are seen in the footage.

That's right and most importantly they used the weather conditions in their advantage for this operation.It seems rats attacked our forward bases, establishments by using their usual tactic.
