It’s been almost a year since Dammam have lost 4 brave men who were responsible for preventing a suicide attack on AlAnoud Mosque at Friday preyer time held by a terrorist group in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. There was a big funeral held in Saihat ( a nearby town ) for the 4 brave martyrs and thousands attended it, I was among them with my camera, didn’t try to cover it like the usual way, but instead I tried to cover it from the eye of a person who attended the funeral. I didn’t share the photos at that time because there were too many who already covered it and shared their photos.
مضت الان قرابة عام كامل منذ أن فقدت الدمام ٤ شبان والذين بفضل الله ثم بفضلهم تمكنوا من منع هجوم انتحاري ارهابي على جامع العنود في وقت صلاة الجمعة من قبل مجموعة ارهابية في الدمام المملكة العربية السعودية. كان هناك تشييع كبير في بلدة سيهات للشهداء الأربعة وقد حضرها آلاف من الاشخاص الذين قدموا للمشاركة في هذا التشييع، كنت من ضمن هؤلاء الأشخاص مع كاميرتي، لم أحاول أن أقوم بتغطية التشييع بالطريقة التقليدية ولكن قمت بإلتقاط صور من منظور الأشخاص الحاضرين في التشييع. لم أنشر هذه الصور في ذلك الوقت بسبب أن هناك الكثيرين ممن قاموا بتغطية هذا الحدث الكبير ومشاركة الصور.
