The battle had been decisive, while the attack of the Serbian military helicopter by the anti-aircraft machine gun and the encirclement of the Serbian forces in Qafë i Dollova mark the peak of the fury of the Dukagjin fighters against the barbarism of the enemy, while they give extremely powerful impulses to the liberation war.

The strike of the military helicopter, of the "Cobra" type, marks the first victory of this type by the fighters of Dukagjin against the air forces of the occupier.

On May 21, 1998, in addition to Myrte Zeneli, Naser Brahimaj and Agim Zeneli and their friends, Jelal Hajda, Fadil Nimani, Alush Agushi and many other brave men participated in the war against the occupying forces. That same day, Myrtë Zeneli was positioned around Dollova Pass from the direction of Bokšić. Meanwhile, reinforcements are coming to the besieged enemy forces from all sides.

Myrtë Zeneli, one of the most indomitable fighters in the Dukagjin area, was martyred in the fight to prevent the KLA positions from being shelled by heavy artillery weapons.
