The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), reported on Sunday afternoon that one of its groups survived an assassination attempt by the Israeli army in Beit Hanoun, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

The Brigades issued a press release stating that one of its groups fired homemade shells at Eretz Crossing, and the Israeli towns of Ashkelon and Sderot, and that shortly after that an Israeli military helicopter targeted them with several missiles and opened fire at a number of houses.

The fighters escaped the shelling unharmed, the brigades stated.

The Brigades added that on the anniversary of the assassination of its secretary-general, Abu Ali Mustafa, it reaffirms its commitment to resistance and steadfastness.

It is worth mentioning that Abu Ali Mustafa was assassinated by the Israeli army on August 27, 2001. Israeli helicopters fired two missiles at his office and killed him. His successor, Ahmad Sa’adat, is now imprisoned by Israel.
