The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has announced the martyrdom of three of its cadres, two of which are leaders. The martyrs are Mohammed Abdel Aal, Imad Awda, and Abdul Rahman Abdel Aal. They ascended to martyrdom after the Israeli occupation targeted a residential apartment in Cola, located in the capital Beirut.

In a statement, the PFLP expressed deep pride in their fallen members, emphasizing their commitment to the path of armed resistance. The group vowed to honor the sacrifices of these leaders and all martyrs of the Palestinian and Arab nations by continuing the fight until the Israeli occupation is eradicated.
