Sidon airstrike targeted retired Fatah officer Khalil Al-Maqdah, LBCI sources say

The recent airstrike that hit the Sidon area in South Lebanon on Wednesday targeted retired Fatah officer Khalil Al-Maqdah, three Lebanese and Palestinian sources confirmed to LBCI.

Al-Maqdah is the brother of Major General Munir Al-Maqdah.

Munir Al-Maqdah confirmed to Al-Mayadeen that his brother was the target of the recent assassination.

"Assassinations make us stronger," Al-Maqdah said. "This martyrdom is a badge of honor, and the resistance remains steadfast."

Khalil Al-Maqdah was a brigadier general in Fatah and served in the military wing of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, according to Al-Mayadeen.

Munir Al-Maqdah himself faces allegations of involvement in arms smuggling operations to the West Bank, with claims that he collaborated with Hezbollah and Iranian groups.
