Occupied Jerusalem-SANA
Archbishop Atallah Hanna of the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia confirmed that the martyr Medhat Al-Saleh, who was assassinated by the Zionist treachery yesterday, is the martyr of Syria and Palestine.
In a telegram of condolence to our people in the occupied Syrian Golan, SANA’s reporter received a copy of it. The Archbishop said, “We offer our condolences to our people in the occupied Golan and in Syria, and our friends and comrades to the martyr Medhat Al-Saleh, who fought for his land and homeland and was assassinated while his eyes were on his hometown in occupied Majdal Shams.. We were wounded in Palestine.” It wounded Syria, just as Syria’s bleeding is ours too.. It is a heinous crime in every sense of the word.. May God have mercy on our martyr, the martyr of Syria and Palestine, and the free people of our nation.”
The Archbishop added, "The martyr Abu Golan Medhat Al-Saleh... Dear friend, who met you more than once, we remember you and your humanity, your humility, your stances, and your defense of your homeland and the Golan, which was and will remain an Arab Syria despite all the conspiracies of the occupation. Long live a proud Syria with its leadership, people and army, and our people lived in the Golan The occupier and Palestine lived with Jerusalem as its capital, despite the plans of liquidation and conspiracy against our people.
The liberated captive Medhat Saleh Al-Saleh was martyred yesterday as a result of being targeted by the Israeli enemy with bursts of bullets while returning to his home in the Ain Al-Tineh site opposite the occupied town of Majdal Shams.
