A senior commander in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group

A senior commander in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group was killed in an Israeli airstrike at a border crossing between Lebanon and Syria yesterday, the IDF and Shin Bet announce.

According to the IDF, the strike in Lebanon's eastern Beqaa Valley killed Mohammed Wishah, a Syrian senior terror operative in the PFLP, who served as the head of group's Military-Security Department in Syria.

He assumed the role after his predecessor, Shantal al-Al, was killed in a strike in Beirut in September 2024.

Wishah was responsible for "coordinating with other Palestinian terror organizations, strengthening ties and coordination with the Shiite axis, and recently operated to advance military operations against Israeli targets," the IDF adds.
