 Mu'in Al-Masri, 40, died Saturday night in the northern Gaza Strip from wounds sustained several months ago, Palestinian sources reported. Al-Masri was the head of the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades, the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP is designated a 'terrorist organization' by the U.S. and Israel, despite the fact that the group's armed wing has not targeted civilians in several years. The Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades focus their attacks on Israeli military targets. The PFLP is a left wing party in Palestine that began in the 1970s.
Al-Masri died Saturday night after being hospitalized several months ago from injuries sustained during an explosion in Jabalia, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. The source of the explosion remains unknown. |
