The man on left screams as the first bullet hits his hand. He makes a mistake of getting up, and the next bullet hits his chest. The last bullet finishes him off. This was a surprise ambush by the Syrian Army on the Al-Qaeda affiliated 'Islam Brigade', which operates in the Damascus area and countryside. They were infiltrated by Syrian security prior to the ambush.

The video ponders the Islamic merits of martyrdom. However, militants seeking overthrow of governments are considered extremists and takfiris rather than martyrs by the majority of Islamic Sunni scholars through the ages. They are heretics like Osama Bin Laden and are considered to have died the death of ignorant people rather than an honourable martyrdom.

The brigade in this video was involved in the terrorist infiltration of Damascus which was much heralded by media after the bomb attack which killed high level ministers. They were comprehensively defeated by the Syrian Army.
