Since last night, reports from Eastern Kurdistan have indicated intensified Iranian Revolutionary Guard military movements in the Piranshahr-Mahabad-Sardasht area, with IRGC forces reportedly attempting to approach PJAK/YRK areas. Two armed clashes were also reported in Saqqez and Piranshahr between Kurdish opposition fighters and IRGC forces. Casualties are reportedly present on both sides, while further details are still emerging.

PJAK guerrillas struck Iranian soldiers who were attempting to conduct reconnaissance in the Serdeşt region while wearing guerrilla uniforms. The Iranian soldiers—who were conducting reconnaissance in an attempt to ambush the guerrillas—suffered casualties (dead and wounded), who were subsequently transported by ambulance.

Jolani has presented the list of the 70 parliamentarians that he appoints. 70 out of 210 parliamentarians are appointed by Jolani - 140 were *elected* in an election that excluded the vast majority of Syrian voters. The list itself does not offer any surprises. The biggest surprise is that Jolani appointed a Syrian actress (Rozina Lazkani) as a parliamentarian. 11% representation of woman in the parliament; well below the promised 20%. Ethnic diversity is basically non existent - when Jolani first declared that he will appoint 1/3 of the parliament, this decision was defended by the sphere of activists highly sympathetic to Jolani stating that his 70 appointees will be used by the pragmatic Jolani to include a diverse group of parliamentarians that represent the diversity of Syria; this turns out to be false in yet another failure of this sphere to predict Jolanis style of governance (knowingly creating false narratives and expectations to create a very positive impression of Jolani) No democracy in Syria - not even nuances of it.

Residents of the city of Al-Darbasiyah organized a protest in the city center today, Wednesday, July 1, to condemn the attack by the so-called General Security of the de facto authority in Damascus on Kurdish women, and the arrest of dozens of Kurdish youths from the towns of Tal Hasel and Tal Aran in the northern Aleppo countryside, demanding their immediate release and holding those responsible accountable.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jody Williams sent a letter to Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan: "Your ideas on democracy, coexistence, and women's liberation give us hope. I believe your leadership plays a significant role in social change."

The protest is continuing.

Protests in Kurdish cities, in support of the people of Tel Aran and Tel Hasel, raising slogans: “Those who have given birth to Kurdish female fighters will not be broken by the hands of terrorism” and “We will not remain with our hands tied.” Until now, the terrorist campaign by the General Security forces has not stopped, as they attack civilians and arrest Kurdish youths only because they are Kurdish.

Jihadist gangs affiliated with HTS are attacking Kurdish villages! 10 young Kurdish men arrested on charges of belonging to "remnant" forces in Tal Aran and Tal Hasel (Aleppo countryside), involving the participation of over 200 vehicles. In the video, women are screaming, begging not to be hit, yet gangs are attacking women and young people.

Across Rojhelat (eastern Kurdistan, western Iran) the clashes between the Iranian regime and Kurdish factions continue on its second day. The tensions are rising steadily and we are expecting an escalation. Recent events: - The PJAK announces that 4 of its members have been martyred during clashes on July 27 - 2 IRGC members (jashes) have been assassinated by a Kurdish faction in Paveh - Deployment of Heavy military equipment and other Iranian assets are being observed across various locations; locals have reported that Arabic speaking IRGC members have been deployed The clashes are no longer concentrated on a singular location in Rojhelat but have spread towards several region - multiple Kurdish factions are now involved in these clashes within their respective area of influence.

YRK Confirms Death of Four Fighters in Mahabad Clashes, Accuses IRGC of Escalating Attacks The Eastern Kurdistan Defense Units (YRK) have confirmed that four of their fighters were killed during the recent clashes near Mahabad, while accusing Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of escalating military operations against its forces and the Kurdish population. In a statement released, YRK said it had consistently followed its "Third Line" policy during the recent regional conflict involving Iran. The group stated that it did not support any side and had not launched attacks against the Iranian government, even during what it described as one of Iran's most vulnerable periods. According to the statement, after recent developments, the IRGC and Iranian security agencies significantly increased their military operations against YRK positions and used the situation to target the group's forces. YRK said the military operation in the Gagesh area near Mahabad began on June 27 and involved a large number of IRGC forces using heavy weapons. The group claimed that the IRGC suffered casualties during the fighting. For the first time, YRK officially confirmed that four of its fighters—two women and two men—were killed during the clashes after, in its words, "resisting until their last breath". The Eastern Kurdistan Defense Units (YRK) said their identities would be announced later. YRK concluded its statement by saying: "As the Eastern Kurdistan Defense Units (YRK), we will respond to these recent attacks against our forces at the time and place of our choosing. As we have stated before, if these attacks continue, our response will be different. We once again make it clear that these attacks will not go unanswered".

YRK: 4 of Our Comrades Martyred in the Operation in Mahabad The YRK Press and Information Center issued a statement regarding the recent attacks by the IRGC forces and the Mahabad operation, stating that 4 of their comrades were martyred as a result of this operation.

Clashes between the PJAK and the Iranian regime have continued throughout the entire day and are continuing right now. Iran is using various artillery systems as well as FPV drones; the PJAK is striking back with what they have. Casualties have been reported.

#CentralSyria | Homs: A Thousand Syrian Shia Families Face Forced Displacement as #STG Orders Demolition of Al-Mazra Village On the morning of Monday, June 29, 2026, Homs Province vehicles and bulldozers, escorted by General Security militias, moved into Al-Mazra, a predominantly Shia village situated west of the city of Homs, and demolished 10 homes. The operation followed the deliberate cutoff of water and electricity to the village. Residents who remained were given 72 hours to leave. A widely shared image of messages, allegedly distributed to General Security militia members and armed factions on Sunday, June 28, informed them of the need to clear the Al-Mazra’a and Al-Raqqa areas near the Al-Waer neighborhood in advance of their planned demolition on Monday, June 29. The messages indicated that the operation was being carried out “on orders from Homs Province leadership.” Local sources reported that the demolitions were accompanied by verbal abuse and threats from General Security militia members, and that residents and bystanders were prevented from filming the destruction. A delegation of villagers traveled to the Homs Province headquarters to seek intervention, but the governor, appointed by the transitional government, declined to receive them. As a result of what sources are characterizing as a sectarian displacement campaign, the roughly 1,000 families who call Al-Mazra’a home now face the prospect of forced expulsion, and the timing of this demolition is particularly significant, coming just four days after the Shia commemoration of Ashura, one of the most sacred and solemn occasions in the Shia religious calendar. The STG has offered justifications for demolition orders targeting Alawite neighborhoods around Damascus, citing construction on state-owned land or the absence of building permits. However, this rationale does not hold up against Syrian realities on the ground: a significant number of unlicensed and unauthorized neighborhoods in Damascus, Homs, and several other provinces belong to Sunni residents, yet demolition laws are not being enforced there. What many citizens see is the deliberate routing of sectarian displacement operations through a legal framework, using the appearance of regulatory enforcement to carry out what amounts to systematic demographic targeting. https://syriaja.com/news/a-thousand-syrian-shia-families-face-forced-displacement-as-stg-orders-demolition-of-al-mazra-village/ Join us on Instagram | Facebook
