Heavily wounded by the Fuheis attack, Corporal Ahmed Zu’bi was laid to rest earlier today, August 21, 2018. Hundreds attended the military funeral honoring martyr Zu'bi in the town of Thunaybah, Ramtha Province.

Representing His Majesty King Abdullah II, Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army, the Director of the General Directorate of Gendarmes, Hussein Hawatmeh, attended the funeral of martyr Zu'bi.
