An Israeli strike on Wednesday killed a commander linked with the Palestinian faction, Fatah, in southern Lebanon. According to the Lebanese army, Khalil al-Makdah was killed in a drone attack in the port city of Sidon, 40 kilometers south of Beirut.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which is the military wing of Fatah, also said that al-Makdah was killed and praised him for his work supporting the Palestinian people, especially after the Gaza attacks. Mounir al-Makdah, a senior Fatah official in Ain El-Hilweh camp, in Sidon, said his brother had served as “a brigadier general in the Fatah movement and works in the military wing of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades is a loose network without a clear hierarchy, and local groups often act on their own. “Assassinations make us stronger, and this testimony is a badge of honor and the resistance remains solid on the ground,” Mounir al-Makdah said.
