Being responsible for the barricade incidents, the terrorist later moved to the Iraq region. After 2020, he assumed the role of General Courier Responsible for PKK/KCK-YBŞ in Iraq's Sinjar, providing weapons and ammunition to the organization members preparing anti-Türkiye actions in Sinjar.
Playing critical roles for the organization between Iraq and Syria, and involved in transferring information about actions against security forces as well as logistics activities, Bayram became a target on MİT's list.
MİT assigned its field agents to closely monitor Yılmaz Bayram. Upon obtaining information that he would make arms and ammunition deliveries, field agents initiated the operation.
Following the operation carried out by MİT with UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles), Yılmaz Bayram, using the code name Agit Gever, was neutralized in Sinjar, and the weapons and ammunition he was preparing for delivery were destroyed.
