Official PA TV host: Great masses accompanied [the funeral of] Martyr Ahmed Daraghmeh (i.e., terrorist, shot at Israeli soldiers), 19 … who ascended [to Heaven] while being present in Jenin after occupation forces invaded it… 

Brother of terrorist Ahmed Daraghmeh: We wanted to celebrate his matriculation certificate (i.e., Shahada in Arabic), but he gave us a Martyrdom (i.e., also Shahada) that raised our heads up high, raised our heads as high as possible, Allah be praised… We wanted to celebrate [the matriculation certificate], but Allah be praised, we celebrated you. And here all the people and all the young people are around you. They want to celebrate you and accompany you [to your wedding] Allah be praised.

Islamic tradition teaches that a Martyr marries 72 Virgins in Paradise and therefore the Martyr’s funeral is considered his wedding procession. 

Ahmed Daraghmeh and Mahmoud Al-Sous – Palestinian terrorists aged 19 and 18 respectively who attacked Israeli forces in Jenin on Oct. 8, 2022. Daraghmeh shot at the forces while Al-Sous threw explosives at them, and the soldiers shot and killed them in self-defense.
