President Abdel Fattah El Sisi performed the Friday prayers at the Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi Mosque in Cairo.

The sermon, delivered by Dr. Osama El Azhari, focused on the key role played by servicemen in protecting Egypt.

The martyr sacrifices his soul to protect the country and other people, Azhari said.

He reassured the martyrs' families, saying that their martyred sons will receive the best reward for their sacrifice from the Lord. Source: MENA
