Anas al Dyab committed his life to capturing the horrors of Syria’s civil war on his camera. On Sunday a regime airstrike claimed his life
in September 2018 by a missile bombardment when Syrian regime forces attacked the town of Khan Shaykhun. His family told AFP he would "not leave Khan Shaykhun except as a martyr".
It was an emotional scene as friends and family gathered to bid farewell to Dyab. He was buried in the city of Idlib, as ongoing bombardment prevented him from being laid to rest in his hometown of Khan Shaykhun. Dyab leaves behind his parents and three brothers, one of whom is being held by the Damascus regime, Saleh said. The White Helmets said five of its members had been killed since the start of the escalation on Idlib.
