Senior Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades commander Khalil al-Maqdah killed in Lebanon

Khalil al-Maqdah, a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was reportedly killed in a targeted strike on a car in Sidon, southern Lebanon, the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen reported on Wednesday.

Al-Maqdah was reportedly a brigadier general in the military wing of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a Palestinian group based in the West Bank with close ties to the Fatah.

‘Assassination only make us stronger’

His brother, Munir al-Maqdah, also a commander in the brigade, told Al-Mayadeen that they were on”the path to victory or martyrdom, and assassinations only make us stronger.”

“Martyrdom is a badge of honor, and the resistance is still steadfast on the ground,” he added.

Al-Mayadeen’s correspondent in south Lebanon said Khalil Al-Maqdah “had a major role in the resistance.” 

According to Israeli media, al-Maqdah was a Quds Force operative in the IRGC.  

Speaking to Al-Mayadeen, Lebanese MP Abdul Rahman Al-Bizri said, “These attacks will increase Sidon’s adherence to the Palestinian cause.”
