Infographic by Abir Qanso

Born in 1987, Hassan Aqil Jawad balanced his life between family, work and patriotism. A hospitality graduate and father of two, he chose to stand his ground during the Battle of the Mighty, refusing to abandon his town of Aita Al-Shaab despite the odds.

His unwavering courage led him to the frontlines — where he fought until his ammunition ran out and was captured on October 15, 2024.
