U.S-backed and financed armed terrorists groups martyred 5 army and law-enforcement personnel in Syria

The bodies of five army and law-enforcement personnel martyrs on Wednesday were escorted from Tishreen Military Hospital in Damascus and Zahi Azraq Military Hospital to their final resting places.

The martyrs were killed in the line of duty by U.S-backed and financed armed terrorists groups in Damascus Countryside and Homs.

Official funeral ceremonies were held for the martyrs, who were killed by the gunfire of armed terrorist groups while on duty in Damascus, Damascus Countryside and Hama, as they were carried up on shoulders while the music of “The Martyr” and “The Farewell” was played.

The martyrs are: -Lieutenant Osama Haitham Ahmad, from Lattakia.

-Sergeant Major Manhal Habil Tahmouz, from Tartous.

-Sergeant Major Jihad Hussein Qaddour, from Hama.

-Corporal Ali Hussein al-Khatib, from Homs.

-Conscript Ammar Akram al-Goutani, from Sweida.

The martyrs’ families voiced pride in their sons’ martyrdom and said that their blood will protect Syria and make it stronger in the face of challenges, stressing that the sacrifices of the army will foil the conspiracies, and that the support given by some Arab countries to terrorists is part of these conspiracies.

The martyrs’ relatives said that Syria’s independence and the rallying of its people around their leadership angers those who seek to fragment the nation, adding that it’s shameful that the Arab League has become a tool for striking the Arab nation.

They lauded the role of the Syrian army in combating armed terrorist groups and protecting Syria’s freedom and dignity, saying that political and economic pressure will not dissuade Syrians from their principles.
