(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Twenty eight army and law-enforcement martyrs were escorted from Tishreen and Homs Military Hospitals and the Police Hospital in Damascus to their final resting places on Saturday.

The martyrs were killed in the line of duty at the hands of the armed terrorist groups in Homs, Hama, Daraa, Deir Ezzor and Damascus Countryside.

Solemn funeral ceremony was held for the martyrs as they were covered with flowers and laurel carried upon on their colleagues shoulders while the Military Band was playing the music of the "Martyr" and the "Farewell."

Families of the martyrs affirmed that the systematic terrorism perpetrated by the armed terrorist groups cannot dissuade the Syrians from their adherence to their national and pan-Arab stances, calling for confronting the terrorists who don't know the meaning of humanity, freedom and democracy and dealing harshly with those who tamper with Syria's security and stability.

The martyrs' relatives voiced confidence in the Syrians' ability to overcome the crisis, stressing that the blood of the martyrs will make Syria stronger and more capable of confronting challenges.
