In war first, Israeli strike said to kill Palestinian Fatah official in south Lebanon
An Israeli strike in Lebanon’s southern city of Sidon killed a Fatah official, says a leader from the Palestinian group and a security source, marking the first such attack reported on Fatah in over 10 months of cross-border clashes.
“The Israeli strike in Sidon killed [Fatah] group official Khalil Makdah,” says Fathi Abu al-Aradat, a senior member of the Palestinian Authority president’s movement, with a security source confirming the report to AFP and adding that the strike hit his car.
