After the outbreak of the May Revolution, the Peshmerga forces gradually infiltrated the cities and villages on the orders of the revolutionary leadership. The Peshmerga forces established bases and headquarters in many areas The Peshmerga guerrillas attacked the Ba'athist forces and caused heavy damage. An important part of the strategy of these activities was a message to the Ba'ath regime that the Kurdish revolution continues and will not give up its legitimate rights The roads and the places through which these forces passed to fight the Peshmerga and carry out military duties, the Peshmerga forces were able to deal a major blow to the military and security forces in this way.       

During the revolution, the Peshmerga forces were divided into branches, regions and organizations. A Peshmerga force of about 20 people belonging to the Duhok Regional Committee of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) under the leadership of Mohammed Murad The Peshmerga forces then climbed to the top of Sina village and then moved back down into Duhok city near the public garage of Baroshke neighborhood. The Peshmerga forces were divided into three groups. One group went to a hill to guard the road back, another group went to the Baroshke police station to monitor the police force, and the third group was stationed in the place designated for ambush.
