Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Thursday expressed his deep condolences on the death of Secretary-General of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command Ahmad Jibril.
“I offer my deep condolences on the death of tireless and indefatigable Palestinian Resistance leader Mr. Ahmad Jibril to the Palestinian people, all activists in the field of Palestinian struggles as well as the entire Resistance Front in the West Asian region,” Imam Khamenei said in the condolence message.
“This brave and hard-working leader spent his life fighting for his oppressed Palestinian people and his homeland Palestine.”
“I ask the God Almighty to grant him a great reward, mercy and forgiveness. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
It is worth mentioning that Jibril had died of sickness on Wednesday in Damascus at 83.
Jibril founded the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command in 1968. He carried out several attacks on Zionist targets and administered two deals to swap prisoners with the Zionist entity in 1979 and 1985 according to which around 1200 Palestinians were released from the Israeli jails.
Jibril was one of Syria’s and Iran’s allies and fiercely opposed all the settlement agreements between the PLO ( Palestine Liberation Organization) and the Israeli enemy.
‘Israel’ classified Jibril as one of its arch foes and attempted to kidnap him several times.
