PA proxy force terrorist eulogized as combatant in Lebanon

• Since June 2025, all the forces of the PLO in Lebanon are officially subordinate to the Palestinian Authority Security Forces (PASF)
   
• On April 28, 2026, a Lebanese PFLP terrorist was eulogized by the PLO faction as a resistance fighter (i.e., terrorist) martyred by Israel

All the Palestinian terror forces in Lebanon are now under command of the PASF, which is funded by the West. This means that the Western funding is directly funding terror organizations in Lebanon fighting against Israel. This week, the PFLP announced the death of one of its fighters in Lebanon:

The command of Palestinian terror forces in Lebanon has been consolidated under the PASF since June 2025:

Posted text: "The words of Commander of the Palestinian [PA] National Security Forces Maj. Gen. Al-Abd Ibrahim to the National Security Forces members in sister Lebanon:

Fighter brothers, members of the National Security Forces in Lebanon, I address you today on behalf of the Palestinian leadership, and under the instructions of [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas, to brief you on the important decision to subordinate the [PLO] National Security Forces in Lebanon to the commander of the Palestinian [PA] National Security Forces. This decision is part of the institutional development and structural strengthening of our national forces…every member of the [Security] Forces is a highly valuable human asset in building our security institutions, and all the rights are guaranteed, according to direct instructions from President Abbas.

This decision is part of strengthening the strategic cooperation with the sister Republic of Lebanon, and in service of the shared interests of both peoples.….

Maj. Gen. Al-Abd Ibrahim

Commander of the Palestinian National Security Forces

Palestine, June 2025"

The PASF is heavily subsidized by Western powers, including the EU, UK, Canada and the United States, countries that are even involved in training PASF in paramilitary maneuvers.

Donor countries deserve an answer - why is a member of the PASF's proxy forces in Lebanon being glorified as a member of armed "resistance" and eulogized as a "heroic" terrorist "martyr" against Israel?

The following is a longer eulogy by the PFLP that accompanied the poster in the PFLP's Telegram feed:

Posted text: "Eulogy announcement

The covenant of the blood and the homeland – and the charter of return

The masses of our people and the Palestinian factions announce the death of Martyr Ayman Atef Dakhloul

The masses of the Palestinian people and the Palestinian resistance factions mourn, with all national honor and revolutionary pride, heroic Martyr: Ayman Atef Dakhloul … who fell as a Martyr on the path of Palestine as a result of the Zionist attack on Lebanon– while giving his pure blood as a new page in the book of legendary resolve, and emphasizing that sacrifice is the necessary path towards freedom and liberation.

Martyr Ayman was the embodiment of the committed fighter to the cause of his people, who adheres to his national identity and the justice of his Palestinian cause, always standing by human dignity and his right to freedom. He remained loyal to the path of resistance (i.e., terror) until the moment of his Martyrdom, while faithful to the oath, and believing that resistance is the shortest path to Palestine.

The blood of comrade Martyr Ayman will always remain as a beacon illuminating the path of the rebels and fighters. He departed with Palestine in his heart, the covenant of resistance in his hand, and the commandment of return and victory in his blood.

Indeed, we swear: his memory will remain in the consciousness of our people in every confrontation, in every arena, and in every step towards certain victory.

We in the Palestinian resistance factions express sincere condolences to the Martyr's family, his friends, and his loved ones, and we commit that his blood will remain a deposit placed on our necks, and the flag of resistance will continue to be raised until the defeat of the occupation (i.e., Israel), the realization of liberation, and until our people's return to its complete land, without any omission.

Glory and eternity to the Martyrs

Freedom to our female and male prisoners

Inevitable victory to our resisting people

Palestinian resistance factions

April 28, 2026"
