KH channel names dead fighter, opens with retaliation couplet

Assessed: Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) named Muntazer Idan al-Atabi of al-Aziziyah as killed "at dawn today in a cowardly American–Saudi aggression," opening with the couplet "I vowed to meet death — repay his treachery with an aircraft"

WHAT HAPPENED

Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) posted a video eulogy this morning for "the son of al-Aziziyah, the heroic martyr Muntazer Idan al-Atabi, who attained the honour of martyrdom at dawn today in a cowardly American–Saudi aggression," prefaced by the couplet "I vowed to meet death face to face — repay his treachery with an aircraft." Five minutes later the same channel posted footage of a funeral in Diyala captioned "Diyala bids farewell to one of the martyrs of the Popular Mobilization Forces who ascended following the brutal Saudi-American aggression that struck security headquarters." Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) separately carried funeral footage from Diyala "and the other Iraqi provinces." No supplied evidence identifies the unit or role of the named man, and no claim of responsibility for the strikes appears in the window.

WATCH

Watch: a claim of a retaliatory strike under any Islamic Resistance in Iraq or front brand, an official KH statement naming al-Atabi and his unit, and further named eulogies from other factions — any of these moves this file.
