This operation is the second in northern Iraq against the terrorist organization, after the “Eagle Claw” that was launched at sunrise on Monday.
It is noteworthy that the terrorist organization “PK Ka” takes its stronghold in Qandil Mountains in northern Iraq, and it is active in many cities and towns, occupies a large number of villages in the region, and launches attacks on the Turkish interior.
