Ahmed Saleh, a rescue-worker with the Civil Defense Service, said that they sometimes asked people: “Did you hear an explosion nearby?” Saleh points out to Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed that “those injured amid the communications outage were unable to communicate,” which represented a greater threat to them. Saleh adds, “Before that, despite the poor quality of the communications network, we were able to receive communications from the wounded, their families, relatives, or neighbours.” But it shows that during the night of Friday and Saturday, anxiety prevailed in the situation, as they did not know “who was martyred and who was injured.”
