The group primarily wages a guerrilla campaign against the Turkish-backed forces in the countryside, using ambushes and bombings,[1][1] often striking in the night.[3] Unlike the official YPG forces in Afrin, the Wrath of Olives operations room also carrys out kidnappings, executions, and assassinations against Turkish-backed militants and civilians who collaborate with Turkish forces.[4][5][7] For example, the group reportedly attempted several times to kill Hasan Şindi, a member of the Turkish-backed Afrin Council until he fled for Europe in August 2018.[3]
