In the statement published on the website of the armed force of the West Kurdistan, YPG expressed that the Islamıc State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS)  forces carried out savage attacks against the civilians after having been extensively defeated as a result of YPG’s attacks targeting the Kobane region of Cizire Canton during the March. YPG called attention to the bombing attacks in Serekaniye and Dirnesiye on Thursday, April 24 when a suicide attack in Ti Xelef, 4 kilometres away from Serakaniye, took the life of 4 security forces, 1 YPG militant and 6 civilians. According to the statement of the YPG’s Press Unit of the same day, 1 YPG militant was killed in the Zehr El Ereb village nearby Dirbesiye. The statement reported that YPG launched an operation after the attacks in Zehr El-Ereb and the nearby villages. “The members of the gangs as well as some people suspected to be in collaboration with them were ascertained, arrested and disarmed” said the statement.

Remarking that these two attacks prove the continuation of the savage attacks of the gangs, YPG General Commandership said:  “We are thankful to all the people of the region who support us while we are fighting against the attacks of the ISIS forces. We call all people to take their part in defence of our region and to resist against the enemies of humanity. But this call is by no means our weakness as alleged by some”.

Underlining that they will continue the resistance against savage attacks against all components of the region, YPG stressed that they would defeat the gangs supported by the Ba’athist regime. Informing that they are in preparation of a new move, YPG said: “Preparing a new resistance move against the possible attacks, we call all the people of the region, in particular the youth to take part in defence actions. We call on everyone who plans to join to YPG, to get prepared”.
