Khalil al-Maqdah, a senior commander of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah movement, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon on Wednesday.
The targeted attack on a vehicle also resulted in the deaths of two other individuals associated with al-Maqdah and left several civilians injured.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades confirmed the death of Maqdah in a statement, praising him for his role in supporting resistance efforts against Israeli forces in the West Bank. The Fatah movement condemned the assassination, accusing Israel of attempting to escalate tensions into a broader regional conflict.
This assassination marks the first targeted killing of a Fatah member in Lebanon since the beginning of Israeli aggression in Gaza. The incident follows a similar attack that led to the death of HAMAS leader Samir El-Haj near the Palestinian refugee camp in Sidon, underscoring the escalating violence in the region.
In response to the killing, Hezbollah launched retaliatory operations against Israeli military bases in Western Galilee, further heightening tensions along the Lebanon-Israel border.
The situation remains volatile, with regional actors closely monitoring the developments. (ILKHA)
