Wouldn't it be easier for our guys to reach to him there?According to information leaked around a week ago from within the Iraqi Ministry of Internal Affairs it was revealed that Ferhat Abdi Sahin, the leader of the PKK/YPG terrorist organization in Syria is illegally residing in PUK controlled Kirkuk with the help of false ID. He was residing under the false name of Muhammad Halil Husain. It is thought that there are concerns for his safety in Syria and he took refuge in Iraq due to Turkish pressure.

We can reach him everywhere. The problem is our agreement with the US.Wouldn't it be easier for our guys to reach to him there?
Wouldn’t this be a good time to reduce PUK influence. If PUK lost influence and got smaller while other parties gained more influence it’d limit their abilities more.We can reach him everywhere. The problem is our agreement with the US.
How I read the situation is that he is slowly realizing that he is disposable and he is scared of being left unprotected by the US. This is why he wants to guarantee his safety by asking PUK for help.
He knows very well that he is breaching the rules put by us by travelling to meet with PUK and most probably the US warned him to not put US forces in risk by such a risky travel. They probably told him "If you want to travel, then we wouldn't be able to ensure your security", after we took this warning drone shot at the Suleymaniye airport. Turkiye is pushing the limits.
We know that PUK arranges the transport of PKK HVTs with a PUK marked political vehicles and false IDs between Syria and Iraq for some time, after nothing else worked. I bet that Ferhat Abdi Sahin is staying in a PUK place, under PUK protection and wherever he goes, he goes in a PUK marked vehicle. This way, they guarantee his safety (the safety which the US can no longer guarantee while he is in Iraq), because they know that the preferred option for us is not to strike a target belonging to the second most powerful Kurdish party in KRG. This will bring repercussions.
In order to ensure a possible undisturbed stay in Iraq under PUK protection, they forged a false identity where he can do what he needs to do without causing suspicion and prevent intelligence leaks. If you have a Syrian passport and you try to enter the KRG you can get a 30 day visa permit which would be lengthened in different cases. The situation is such that if he travels with his real passport not only MIT will confirm trough more than one sources that he travelled, but if he wants to stay in KRG for more than 30 days he may face a legal situation sourced by KDP influence within the KRG government. With the forging of this false Iraqi citizenship PUK basically both covers his identity on entry/departure in/from Iraq and also ensures that he won't face a legal problem with the KRG law enforcements. The management of information leak on Syrian territory is easy as he is holding the strings, but in Iraq the situation changes.
I think this is a countermeasure caused by his panic. Can we strike him in this situation if the need arise and the conditions are met? Yes, we can. What we can't do is strike him directly, but there are more than one options on the table. The hand of the Turkish State is long and no enemy of Turkiye can feel safe.
We can ask why the Iraqi authorities revealed his false identity? In order to eliminate a safe exit from Syria if SHTF and enforce a dependence towards Iran. Why they chose this instead of sending a suicide drone at his house? Because they have plans with PUK and such a move will get in the way of the high level cooperation between Iran and PUK so they prefer to keep him in Syria.
That's my humble opinion on the situation.
The influence of PUK depends on the political situation in KRG and after the latest elections the situation is not the brightest we've seen.Wouldn’t this be a good time to reduce PUK influence. If PUK lost influence and got smaller while other parties gained more influence it’d limit their abilities more.
I believe the moles are staying hidden during all these operations within our borders.The operation continues in the west of Metina, and the operation has expanded significantly.
TSK is stationed on the hill between Bilozan and Baze.
Speaking to Kurdsat, a person from Baze village stated that while leaving the village and going shopping, he was stopped by the Turkish Armed Forces and his identity was checked. The speaker stated that there were many Turkish soldiers in the area.

It was reported that the Turkish Armed Forces established checkpoints and carried out identity checks not only between Baze-Bilozan, but also on the Kani-Blave line in the west part of Metina. It is reported that the Turkish Armed Forces established checkpoints on the main roads in Bamerne and Kani Masi.
PKK sources also reports that TSK established control points in Amediye and 10 suspects were arrested after ID checks.
Soldier also conducted on foot patrols in some areas
Since last night, there has been intense personnel movement and reinforcement in some areas in the north of Iraq. There is also activity in Hakurk.
There are a couple of small PKK groups in Turkiye right now. With the latest operations in Batman, Dogubayazit and Beytussebap we hit them very hard and even managed to take down terrorists from the "RED", "ORANGE" and "GREY" Most Wanted lists. Very big percentage of the armed terrorists in Turkiye are taking place in these lists and this affirms the determination for their neutralization.I believe the moles are staying hidden during all these operations within our borders.
Which one?MIT stepped on the tail of the Black Snake. One of the leaders of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) was eliminated during a special operation in the Qamishli region in Syria. View attachment 68984
