News Center- Zenubiya Women's Community, a women’s organization in North and East Syria, held a commemoration for Salîhe Viyan (Heva Al-Arabo) coordinating member of Kongra Star, and Hogir Dirbêsiyê (Delawar Al-Arabo), a member of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), who were killed in a Turkish drone strike on North and East Syria.

The killing of Heva Al-Arabo was a loss for the women's movement, the community said in a statement. “Heva Al-Arabo was a symbol of sacrifice.
