Follow up to this story from yesterday.
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine (PFLP) mourned three of its leaders who were killed in an Israeli bombing of a residential apartment in the Cola area of central Beirut early on Monday.

In a statement, the group identified the deaders as Mohammed Abdel Aal (Abu Ghazi), member of the Political Bureau of the Front, and Head of the Military Security Department, Emad Odeh (Abu Ziyad), member of the Military Department of the Front, as well as its military leader in Leb
...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
; and Abdel Rahman Abdel Aal.

''As the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine bids farewell to its heroic martyr leaders, it pledges to them and to all the deaders of our people and our nation that it will continue the path of struggle and resistance until the occupation is swept away, no matter how long it takes and regardless of the sacrifices, '' the statement read

Lebanese media sources reported that Israeli drones attacked an inhabited residential apartment in the Cola area of central Beirut.
The Times of Israel adds:
According to the military and Shin Bet, Nidal Abd al-Aal was involved in planning and advancing terror attacks in the West Bank.

The IDF and Shin Bet say al-Aal was behind a bombing attack on a bus in the settlement of Beitar Illit in March 2023, as well as a shooting attack in Huwara in the same month, the latter of which wounded two soldiers.

Alongside him, Imad Odeh, a PFLP military commander, and another operative, Abdelrahman Abd al-Aal, were killed in the strike.
