This is true death, and this is the greatness of martyrdom. You resisted and endured, bearing pain with dignity, a devoted father and a role model among your colleagues for honesty and discipline, until yesterday morning when you advanced toward martyrdom, dismounting from the steed of duty to ascend alongside your son, offering everything you had. Pure blood has irrigated the land of the South and will remain a noble symbol of sacrifice in the face of the enemy, its crimes, and its treacherous war machine that murdered the innocence of children and the resolve of men. It was the will of the Almighty Creator that you depart and join the caravan of martyrs of the Internal Security Forces and the الوطن.” He then recited a brief account of the martyr’s life. Afterwards, the funeral procession proceeded toward the martyrs’ final resting place, led by the bearers of medals and wreaths on behalf of the Internal Security Forces institution.
