Between 22:37 and 23:18 on 22 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired three consecutive items building a parliamentary accountability case against PMF chairman Falih al-Fayyad over an alleged attack on PMF personnel. Political analyst Muhammad al-Zeidawi said Saudi Arabia had committed the aggression and that Fayyad, as the PMF's first responsible official, must disclose what happened; Sadiqoun bloc MP Salem al-Absaoui said continued absence from parliament would leave Fayyad "accused". The sequence sits on one channel with no second carrier in the collected window, which is why it is graded on the speakers' words rather than on the underlying strike.

“Saudi Arabia committed a sinful aggression by targeting PMF personnel … Fayyad must disclose the facts and what happened on the ground as the PMF's first responsible official … summoning Fayyad is not political character assassination.”
السعودية قامت باعتداء اثم عبر استهداف افراد الحشد الشعبي … يجب على الفياض كشف الحقائق وما حدث على ارض الواقع باعتباره المسؤول الاول بالحشد … طلب حضور الفياض لا يعتبر تسقيطا سياسيا

“No avoiding attendance. Sadiqoun bloc MP Salem al-Absaoui: Fayyad's continued absence from parliament will keep him 'accused'.”
لا مفر من الحضور.. النائب عن كتلة الصادقون سالم العبساوي: استمرار غياب الفياض عن البرلمان سيبقيه "متهما"
A faction-owned broadcaster is running the case for parliamentary questioning of the PMF's chairman, which puts the leadership of a state security institution under pressure from within the muqawama's own media rather than from outside it.
