She added: "What strengthened my belief in the Tishrin Dam resistance and led me to participate was the resistance shown by the SDF to protect the area, which convinced me of the importance of standing with our military forces against any threat and defending the gains achieved with the blood of the martyrs."

Kholoud affirmed that the Tishrin Dam resistance demonstrated the effectiveness of this solidarity in achieving victory, forming a strong barrier that thwarted the plans and objectives of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries.
