The leader of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badreddin Al-Houthi extended on Thursday his condolences over the death of the he death of Secretary-General of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command Ahmad Jibril.
Sayyed Al-Houthi condoled, in a cable, Jibril’s family, the PFLP-GC, factions of resistance as well as the Arab and Islamic Umma, stressing that the late leader is a prominent figure of resistance against the Israeli enemy.
Sayyed Al-Houthi indicated that Jibril did not get affected by the fragility and miscalculation of some Arabs, adding that the late leader frustrated the Israeli enemy’s attempts to stir sedition among the Palestinian factions of resistance.
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.
