A jet can be heard flying over Shaddadi - south of Rojava.

ATTENTION!

Silence currently prevails in Qamishlo and its surrounding countryside. No new attack against the region or the forces stationed there has taken place so far. Kurdish fighters remain on alert against any potential attack.

Hasakah Governor @NuraldienAhmad: "We condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attack that targeted a Syrian Army checkpoint in the Qamishli countryside, resulting in the martyrdom of two soldiers and the injury of two others."

"We affirm that the security, stability, and safety of Hasakah Governorate and its people are a red line, and that the relevant authorities will work to uncover the circumstances of this attack and hold those responsible accountable."

A photo from 2011 shows Ahmad Zakour alongside Jolani, at a stage preceding the establishment of the Nusra Front, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda. Today, Zakour is no longer merely a name from Jolani’s past, but has become part of the power structure in Damascus, overseeing the tribal affairs file within the Jolani government.

According to information we obtained, Zakour visited Serê Kaniyê about a month ago and held meetings with a number of tribal officials and elders. He also held a meeting in Damascus with several Chechen elders from Serê Kaniyê, including a person named Abu Anwar, in the presence of Khaled Al-Marei, who is from the Baggara tribe and a former member of the Iran-aligned Baqir Brigade.

The information indicates that these meetings were not limited to Serê Kaniyê, but are part of a broader effort targeting different Kurdish areas, in coordination with the Turkish intelligence agency MIT, with the aim of creating tensions, inciting against the Kurds, and obstructing the return of displaced people to their areas.

According to the information, these efforts also aim to obstruct the process of integration and understanding between the Syrian Democratic Forces and Damascus, and to undermine any political agreement that guarantees stability and the rights of the Kurds.

From the Nusra Front to the authorities in Damascus, and from Al-Qaeda to the tribal affairs file, the positions and labels have changed, but Ahmad Zakour remains at the center of the scene.

This morning at 06:00 local time, Iran carried out several attacks against Kurdish factions from Rojhelat.

The drones struck sites across Hawler (Erbil) governorate - Khalifan, Harir and Soran.
No losses have been reported.

An armed attack targeting a position belonging to the Qamishli Brigade in the village of Tawil Harb in the countryside of the city of Qamishli resulted in two martyrs and two wounded. This attack has once again raised widespread questions about who is behind the escalation in the region. In particular, the fact that the attack took place only hours after public threats issued by Khidr Abu Haytham, the so-called commander of the tribal forces in southern Hasakah, against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has drawn attention.

According to Helzwar Mitani, Military Media Director of the Eastern Region, an “outlaw group” attacked a position belonging to the brigade before being repelled by the fighters. Mitani stated that two fighters were martyred and two others were wounded, noting that the pursuit of the perpetrators continues and that the necessary measures are being taken.

The timing of the incident further increases the questions. The attack came only hours after a public post by Khidr Abu Haytham in which he said:
“By God Almighty, I long to fight the SDF more than anyone else. But as for the battle, by God Almighty, when its time comes we will not postpone it.”

Observers note that the issuance of such a direct threat, followed by an armed attack on a force that includes fighters from formations previously part of the SDF, makes it necessary for the security authorities to conduct a serious investigation to uncover the circumstances of the attack.

Why did the public threats go unaddressed?

The most pressing question here is not only who carried out the attack, but also why individuals who openly issue threats remain free without being held accountable.

The responsibility of the transitional government and the Ministry of Interior

The transitional government and the Ministry of Interior bear direct responsibility for uncovering the circumstances of the attack. This should not be limited to pursuing the perpetrators; they must also investigate the threats that preceded the attack and determine who encouraged the escalation.

This attack took place at an extremely sensitive time. While protests were taking place in Qamishli and Hasakah against the assaults that displaced people from Ras al-Ayn/Serêkaniyê faced during their attempts to return to their city, calls were rising for the protection of the returnees and for ensuring their safe, voluntary, and dignified return.

Thus, the question that imposes itself today is not only “Who opened fire on the Qamishli Brigade?” but also the following:
Who is trying to drag the region back into conflict? Who benefits from turning political and social tensions into armed confrontation?

The Eastern Kurdistan Defense Units (YRK), the armed wing of PJAK, published a statement and video showing the groups’ urban units, “Kurdistan Martyrs’ Revenge Teams” carrying out an operation in Sine on August 8, killing Salar Rangamiz, whom it accused of collaborating with Iranian security forces.

YRK said the operation followed an investigation into the deaths of four of its guerrillas near Mahabad and warned other alleged collaborators to end cooperation with Iranian forces and “return to the ranks of the people.”

The attack had previously been claimed by another group named ‘Xori Hiwa’. The newly released YRK statement and footage indicate that this claim appears to have been false.

@KurdishFrontReports

A PJAK/YRK-affiliated source says footage of another attack will also be published soon:

The footage reportedly shows the killing of Ömer Dehgan from Mahabad, whom the source describes as a collaborator.

The source also addresses rival claims surrounding such attacks, accusing individuals using fabricated identities and online pages of attempting to take credit for actions carried out by others.

“Let action judge between truth and claims.”

This video is part of the retaliatory operation for the martyrs of Mahabad, carried out by fighters of the East Kurdistan Units (YRK), in which Omar Dehghan faces the consequences of his actions.

During the condolence visit to the family of the martyr Artêş, Qamishlo Brigade Commander Brigadier General Luqman Khalil stated:

▪️As long as we act out of emotion, we will achieve nothing; rather, we will harm our cause.
▪️There are those who are trying to create discord.
▪️Our path is the path of the martyr Artêş.
▪️The path of our Kurdish people is long.
▪️Our Kurdish people have been struggling for more than a hundred years.
▪️If necessary, we will struggle for another hundred years and continue until our people achieve their rights.
