Several protests were held on Tuesday in the Kurdistan Region’s cities of Sulaimani and Halabja, as well as Soran and Raparin administration’s Ranya against last week’s deadly attack by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Erbil that killed at least four civilians. 

Scores of people gathered, delivered speeches, and raised banners denouncing the Iranian bombardment of Erbil and demanding an end to the attacks that caused civilian casualties. 

Last week, the IRGC fired ten ballistic missiles at what it alleged was a Mossad base in the family home of Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee. Dizayee, his baby daughter Zhina, businessman Karam Mikhail, and a Filipina housekeeper, Michelle, were killed in the attack.

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has categorically denied the existence of Israeli intelligence bases in the Kurdistan Region.
