A senior official from the Palestinian Fatah movement told reporters that Israel killed a fellow party member in south Lebanon in order to start a regional war. The “assassination of a Fatah official is further proof that Israel wants to ignite a full-scale war in the region”, Tawfiq Tirawy, a member of Fatah’s central committee, told AFP, referring to the killing of Khalil al Makdah in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon. The group’s armed wing, the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, said Khalil al Makdah was killed in the coastal city of Sidon “while performing his duty in supporting the Palestinian people and resistance.”
