On the date of May 24, 1969, by order of the revolution leadership, a group of Peshmerga consisting of Aziz Atrushi, Ali Rashash, Manuchehr Beg Inakhi, and Ahmad Bakrawayi went to Shnre Mountain. Initially, they went to Hawar village to visit Ali Hawari's father so that he could assist them. Ali Hawari's father, as a guide and expert on the region, sent Ali Hawari with them. That same day, they went to their positions in Gali Ashkewtan on Shnre Mountain. At that time, news reached the group of Ibrahim Ahmad, who had at that time defected from the revolution and the Kurdistan Democratic Party that Aziz Atrushi was on Shnre Mountain. Therefore, Ibrahim Ahmad's group planned a surprise attack, began preparations, and attacked them. As a result, Aziz Atrushi and Manuchehr Beg were martyred, and Ali Hawari was severely wounded. While wounded, he moved himself away from the positions. After a few minutes, near their positions, Ali Hawari was martyred, and his body did not fall into the hands of the group. However, Jalal Talabani dragged the bodies of the four martyrs—Aziz Atrushi, Manuchehr Beg Inakhi, Ahmad Bakrawayi, and Ali Rashash—from Shnre Mountain to the city of Halabja by pack animal and completely disfigured their bodies. In the city of Halabja, religious men and a group of the city's personalities went to block their path. After much pleading, they received the bodies from them. At that very moment, they bought a piece of land at the entrance of the city of Halabja collectively to bury them and named it the Martyrs' Cemetery.
