✦ Heartbreaking scenes of the bodies of the Al-Othman martyrs, who were killed by members of the General Security, the Ministry of Defense of the de facto authorities, and allied tribal militias

📍 Village of #Lahtah during the terrorist attack on Suwayda Governorate in mid-July 2025 (documented on September 6, 2025):

• Martyr Sheikh Abu Fadi Thlaij Salman Othman
• Martyr Sheikha Umm Fadi Mela Ahmad Jafar
• Martyr young man Abu Zahir Fadi Thlaij Othman
• Martyr young man Hani Fadel Othman

The bodies of the Al-Othman martyrs were documented yesterday evening (September 6) in a special operation carried out by local youths, who infiltrated Lahtah village in the western countryside of Suwayda to recover the bodies and document some of the violations. The bodies were found decomposed, with some mutilated and desecrated in horrific ways that reflect the brutality of the de facto authorities.
To this moment, bodies remain trapped inside homes in Suwayda’s occupied villages under the control of Al-Jolani’s militia.

A security camera from a nearby home close to Salem Abu Hassan’s factory captured gruesome evidence of this atrocity, carried out by the terrorist de facto authorities, who slaughtered an entire family in cold blood in the village of Al-Tha’lah in Suwayda’s western countryside. The footage shows the young martyr, Yusuf Samir Akhwan, standing courageously, attempting to defend his family while completely unarmed, moments before jihadist death squads from the General Security and Ministry of Defense gunned him down mercilessly, murdering him alongside his father and brothers.

The entire community testifies that the men and sons of the Akhwan family stood heroically in the face of terrorism, displaying courage beyond measure. When a heavily armed extremist shakes in fear before an unarmed Druze boy, that is when the true meaning of honor, resistance, and pride becomes clear—and what it truly means to be of Bani Ma’ruf.

The Martyrs:
• The heroic Sheikh Abu Hamza Samir Akhwan
• The brave young martyr Yusuf Samir Akhwan, 15 years old
• The brave young martyr Saleh Samir Akhwan, 13 years old

Um Hamza, the steadfast “Mother of Martyrs,” encapsulated all the pain and strength of her people with one phrase: “God alone is everlasting.” With unshakable resolve, she personally shrouded her husband and sons, burying them with a courage that could humble mountains.
