Hundreds of residents, Civil Administration representatives, military councils, political parties, opinion leaders, Young Women's Union and Syrian Revolutionary Youth Movement members attended the funeral of Self-Defense Forces fighter Mihemed Ibrahim Al Ali, who suffered a heart attack on 18 August.

Member of the Executive Board of the Martyrs’ Families Council, Foza al Mihemed, said: "Martyrdom has the most important meaning and value in humanity. It is a place of honour. We should all try to walk in the footsteps of the martyrs."

Foza al Mihemed continued: "This land has seen many martyrs and hundreds of young people are still ready to follow in their footsteps, protect their country and people, and fight for a free and dignified life."

Self-Defense Forces Commander Ebdullah al Xemisi talked about the historical epics of the martyrs and the sacrifices they made to secure freedom.

Huda Al Ewan, Co-Chair of the Democratic Civil Administration Legislative Assembly, demanded that the martyrs' path be followed until terrorism is eliminated, and added: "We will fight oppression and make sacrifices for it."

Ibtisam El Mihemed, a member of the Martyrs' Families Council, read the martyr's certificate of martyrdom and handed it over to the family.
