Official PA daily praises Martyrs, who depart “always smiling”
Headline: “Nashat Asfour departs with a smile”
“The Mother of Nashat received the body of her Martyr (Shahid) son 100 meters away [from her home] because she could not wait until it reached the doorstep…
Nashat was injured by a bullet to the chest during clashes [with the Israeli army] yesterday [Dec. 20, 2015] in Sinjil, and died as a Martyr several hours later. He left behind a wife and three children…
His mother said: ‘Nashat was a lion. He was always at the center of events and participated in all national activities and events.’
‘Nashat was hit by a bullet. He yelled “I was hit by a bullet,” and turned toward his friends. They did not believe him because he was smiling, as if he was joking with them’ – this is how one of his friends described the last moment.
This is how Martyrs depart – always smiling.”
Nashat Asfour, a 33 year-old-Palestinian who died in clashes with the Israeli army near the village of Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, on Dec. 18, 2015.
