The operation is named after the soldier killed in the initial attack, Yalçın Nane.The operation has involved three waves of airstrikes against ISIL positions in Syria and two waves of airstrikes against PKK positions in Iraqi Kurdistan. Airstrikes were launched by F-16 fighter jets taking off from Diyarbakır and İncirlik Air Base on 24 July and 25 July. It was reported that 35 ISIL militants had been killed in the first wave after footage from the fighter jets and unmanned aircraft were analysed, while the airstrikes in Northern Iraq were confirmed to have killed a high-ranking PKK militant and were alleged to have killed the PKK commander Murat Karayılan.After 25 July, Turkey continued with airstrikes against the PKK only (no longer against ISIL).The airstrikes are the first to have been conducted by Turkey against ISIL and are significant due to Turkey's previously much-criticised policy of inaction against (and sometimes cooperation with) ISIL in the past. The strikes against the PKK resulted in an increase in violence in the mainly Kurdish southeast of Turkey. In conjunction to the airstrikes, large-scale domestic operations were conducted by the police and Gendarmerie in over 22 Turkish provinces. The airstrikes have been referred to as a 'major policy shift' and a 'game changer' in the global military intervention against ISIL."@en }
