Within eleven minutes on the evening of 30 July, Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) posted two reports: one on a "solemn funeral for the martyrs of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Nineveh.. chants denouncing the Saudi aggression and demanding a response", and one on a "mass funeral for the martyrs of the Popular Mobilization Forces in Najaf al-Ashraf.. a boiling (غليان) that demands a response to the terrorism of the House of Saud".
