While Iran pushed to include Lebanon in its ceasefire agreement with the US and Israel, it has increased its drone attacks on Iranian Kurdish parties since the announcement of the truce on 8 April.
On 14 April, an Iranian drone strike killed Ghazal Moulan, a 19-year old female fighter of the Komala Toilers of Kurdistan in Sulaimaniyah, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.
“Deeply sadly. The criminal hands of the Islamic Republic did not cease their bloodshed even under the shadow of a ceasefire,” Amjad Hossein Panahi, a spokesperson of the Komala party, posted on X.
