The 20-year-old woman was identified as Zuluh Hemo and had fought under the name Avesta Habur, according to the newspaper, citing a statement from her military organization, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ), part of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
"If confirmed, it would be the first case of a suicide kaboom by the Kurds against

’s forces in Syria since its ground troops crossed the border earlier this month," the paper reported.
Hemo is believed to have thrown the grenade down the turret of the tank. This had led the independent Syrian Observatory for Human Rights to believe that it was not an intended suicide attack.
In a statement cited by the New York Times, Hemo’s unit referred to her as a heroine.
"The heroine Avesta attacked the tank and blew herself up with the tank." It also called her "a model of free Kurdish women."
