"During their visit to the mourning council today, the delegation expressed their sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs, asking God Almighty to bestow His vast mercy upon them and to place them among the righteous, martyrs and pious, and to inhabit them in His spacious gardens and inspire their families with patience and solace.

In a statement, His Excellency the Undersecretary of the Ministry said: “We offer our sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the martyrs who gave their pure lives while carrying out the mission of transporting some ammunition inside one of the camps in the country.
