The circled portrait on the top right is that of Muhammad Munif Ashmar (محمد منیف اشمر), a suicide bomber of the group Hezbullah. The name Muhammad Munif Ashmar can be seen above the yellow boxed Hezbollah (flag) symbol. Sitting next to his rifle, is Ali Munif Ashmar (علی منیف اشمر), brother of Muhammad Munif Ashmar, also a suicide bomber of Hezbollah. His name appears right below the rifle. He leans on a portrait of Ali Khamenei (Iran's leader). Under Khamenei's portrait gives the date of Ali Munif Ashmar's suicide bombing: "martyred on March 21st 1996 in Adisa, Lebanon". The large yellow text on the bottom of the mural reads: "Imam Khomeini: Israel must be destroyed".
