Here is how the last paragraph of my previous message should have
read. Also, please note that I was doing crude, on the spot
translation. Do not judge the author's style based on what I wrote.

Awate's group broke through after three hours of fighting. He killed
three of the enemy and wounded two. One of his men, BeyreQ Humed (or
Hmed, it is not possible to say which from the way it is written
in Arabic) was captured. BeyreQ, was later killed in prison. He was
the first battle prisoner and the first martyr of our revolution.
Another fighter was slightly wounded.
