The IDF confirms carrying out an airstrike in the Lebanese capital of Beirut overnight, killing the commander of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in Lebanon and at least two other operatives.
According to the military and Shin Bet, Nidal Abd al-Aal was involved in planning and advancing terror attacks in the West Bank.
The IDF and Shin Bet say al-Aal was behind a bombing attack on a bus in the settlement of Beitar Illit in March 2023, as well as a shooting attack in Huwara in the same month, the latter of which wounded two soldiers.
Alongside him, Imad Odeh, a PFLP military commander, and another operative, Abdelrahman Abd al-Aal, were killed in the strike.
