After the Peshmerga attacked their bases and fought a fierce battle with them, they did what they wanted and inflicted heavy damage on them. The Peshmerga were not harmed, but after they returned they fell into an ambush set up for them by the army. After a heroic resistance and a fierce battle, four Peshmerga were martyred, namely (Commander Abu Bakr Haji Othman, Ali Rasoul, Deputy Head of the Local Committee, Jalal Muhammad Dulsuri, and Shahab San Ahmed).[2].

It is worth noting that the Peshmerga forces always fought with a well-defined plan and carried out military activities to continue the struggle for the rights of the people of Kurdistan. They inflicted heavy losses on their enemy by attacking Iraqi government military bases and institutions. Even during events and celebrations, they did not allow the aggression to witness stability in its policies, but rather dealt it a strong blow and inflicted damage. This served as a message to government officials that the revolution continues and continues in the form of guerrilla warfare here and there, harming the interests of the government and the Ba'athist regime.
