Headline: “50 years since the death as a Martyr of fighter Abu Ali Iyad”

“On July 27, 1971, Fatah Movement Central Committee member fighter Walid Ahmad Nimr Nasr Al-Hassan ‘Abu Ali Iyad’ (i.e., Fatah terrorist responsible for numerous attacks) died as a Martyr…

In 1966 he was assigned many missions connected to preparing military operations (i.e., terror attacks) in the depth of the Palestinian lands from inside the West Bank…

Abu Ali oversaw an attack against the Beit Yosef settlement in 1966 (refers to attack in northern Israel, 3 wounded -Ed.). The Israeli leaders admitted that this was the strongest attack against the Israeli settlements at the time.

He also oversaw other operations against the settlements of Hutin (sic., there is no Jewish town by this name), Manara, and Kfar Giladi (i.e., Israeli towns).”

Abu Ali Iyad was appointed head of Fatah military operations in 1966 and was responsible for several terror attacks. The attacks included a bombing in the town of Beit Yosef in northern Israel on April 25, 1966 (injuring 3 people), and placing bombs in the town of Margaliot in northern Israel on July 19, 1966. He was killed in 1971 in Jordan by the Jordanian army when it forced Fatah members out of the country.
