[IsraelTimes] Jibril’s group responsible for deadly terror attacks against Israelis, a famous prisoner exchange that saw 1,150 Paleostinian security prisoners freed; PA’s Abbas sends condolences.
Ahmad Jibril, the leader of a major Paleostinian terrorist group, died in a Damascus hospital on Wednesday night, Lebanese media reported.

as a terror group; attacks by Jibril’s group led to the deaths of dozens of Israelis over the years.
Among the group’s attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians were 1970’s bombing of Swissair Flight 330 that killed 47 people; a 1970 attack on an Israeli school bus that killed 12, most of them children; 1974’s Kiryat Shmona massacre of 16 people; and 1987’s ’Night of the Gliders,’ in which members of the group flew into an Israeli base and killed six soldiers.
The group has not successfully conducted terror attacks against Israelis for some time, and it is not currently considered a serious threat. It has been blamed for sporadic rocket attacks on Israel from Leb
...an Iranian colony 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 dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of 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, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...
, though none that caused serious damage.

paid his condolences to Jibril’s replacement as PFLP-GC leader, Talal Naji, the official PA WAFA news agency reported.
"His Eminence, in a telephone call, also provided his condolences to Badr Jibril, the son of the dear departed, praying to God Almighty, to cover him with his vast mercy, that [Jibril] dwell in his vast gardens, and grant his family and relatives patience and solace," Abbas’s office said in a statement carried by WAFA.
Senior Paleostinian Authority official Hussein al-Sheikh mourned Jibril’s passing on Twitter.
"Our deepest condolences to our comrades in the General Command and to the Paleostinian people on the death of the Paleostinian leader Ahmed Jibril," al-Sheikh wrote.
Born in a small town near Jaffa in 1938, Jibril’s family ended up in Syria following the establishment of Israel a decade later. Hundreds of thousands of Paleostinians fled or were expelled in the 1948 Israeli War of Independence, which Paleostinians call the Nakba, literally meaning "catastrophe."
Jibril lived in Syria for most of the rest of his life, briefly serving as an officer in the Syrian Army in the 1950s. In 1959, he founded a small paramilitary organization known as the Paleostinian Liberation Front.
Jibril later co-founded the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine alongside George Habash in 1967. But he broke off almost immediately to found the PFLP-GC as a separate faction. The United States and the European Union classify both as terrorist organizations.
The terror leader was best known by Israelis and Paleostinians alike for his role in setting up the so-called "Jibril Deal," one of the largest prisoner exchanges in the history of the conflict.
Under the terms of the 1985 agreement, some 1,150 Paleostinian security prisoners were released in exchange for three Israeli soldiers — Yosef Grof, Nissim Salem, and Hezi Shai — held by the PFLP-GC. Some were notorious faceless myrmidons such as Kozo Okamoto, a Japanese radical who had taken part in the 1972 Lod Airport Massacre, which claimed the lives of 26 victims.
Other prisoners released under the terms of the deal would significantly shape the future of the Israeli-Paleostinian arena. Jibril Rajoub, a young Fatah activist, later became the movement’s secretary-general, a position he holds to this today. Sheikh Ahmad Yassin would go on to become the spiritual leader of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group. And Abdullah Nimr Darwish, then a young radical who had experienced a change of heart in prison, founded the moderate Southern Islamic Movement and the Islamist Ra’am party.
In recent years, Jibril was a staunch supporter of Iran’s ally Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad
