“Yesterday afternoon [Feb. 16, 2022] masses of our people accompanied the body of Martyr Nihad Amin Barghouti (i.e., violent rioter, participated in throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers who opened fire in self-defense on Feb. 15, 2022), 20, from Kafr Ein, northwest of Ramallah…

Fatah Movement Secretary in Ramallah and El-Bireh Muwaffaq Sahwil said in his speech after accompanying the Martyr’s body: ‘We stand today at the funeral of one of the heroes of Palestine, the released prisoner, who only wanted to be together with the procession of Martyrs. He hoped for Martyrdom and achieved it.’ …

Sahwil emphasized that our people will remain loyal to the blood of the Martyrs and will continue to confront the occupation and the settlers who are going wild and doing as they please with the Palestinian territories…

Rizq Barghouti said in the speech of the Martyr’s relatives that Nihad had sketched his path of Martyrdom for a long time. At the beginning he was arrested, afterwards he was wounded, and in the end he achieved what he wanted – Martyrdom…

It should be noted that Barghouti died as a Martyr two days ago in the afternoon after he was wounded by live gunfire in the stomach at the entrance to Nabi Saleh village. He was transferred to the hospital in a very critical condition, and the doctors announced afterwards that he had died as a Martyr from his wounds.”
