Official PA TV News broadcast
Topic: Tens of thousands accompany the 17 “Martyrs” from Hebron whose bodies were held by Israel


Official PA TV reporter: "The procession began after the prayer for the Martyrs' (Shahids') souls in the Al-Hussein Mosque, which took place at the same time as the announcement of mourning and a strike of all the city's public institutions. It proceeded through the streets and ended at the Al-Shuhada cemetery (i.e., the Martyrs' cemetery) in the Al-Sheikh neighborhood, where the Martyrs were buried amid calls of the participants who accompanied the Martyrs in a funeral befitting their sacrifice and status."

Terrorist stabber Abd Al-Rahman Maswadeh's sister:  "Allah honored them with this Martyrdom. We received their bodies and felt relieved, because the homeland's ground, for which they sacrificed their pure blood, now warms them and is befitting of them. For of course the honoring of the dead is his burial. Praise Allah Master of the Worlds, I bless all of the Martyrs' families. They received their sons and were relieved by their bodies [being transferred]."

Official PA TV reporter:  "After the occupation authorities held [the Martyrs' bodies] in refrigerators and freezers for a number of days, they were returned in a national wedding (i.e., Martyr's funeral, considered wedding to the 72 Virgins in Paradise according to Islam) to the warm ground for which they fell, and which they protected."
