The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) International Office extends its deepest condolences to the Marxist-Leninist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and to the families, comrades, and communities of Mohammed Khalil Wishah (Abu Khalil), member of the PFLP General Central Committee, and Mufid Hassan Hussein, field commander, who were killed on August 7, 2025 in an Israeli airstrike on the Syria–Lebanon road.
We join the Palestinian people in mourning their loss and honoring their lives. Abu Khalil and Commander Hussein were respected leaders within the PFLP, known for their steadfastness, and willingness to serve wherever they are needed even in carrying out the most difficult tasks in service of their people. They devoted their lives wholly to the struggle, not for personal gain or recognition, but for the collective freedom and dignity of their people.
The Zionist entity’s assassination of these two leaders is part of its continuing campaign to destroy the organized leadership of the Palestinian resistance. Yet history has shown that the Palestinian people, through their political and armed struggle, have refused to be subdued. Each martyr only deepens the determination of the people to fight until liberation is won.
The NDFP and the PFLP share a long tradition of solidarity forged through common struggles and campaigns against imperialism, colonialism, and reaction. Over the years, our organizations have exchanged messages, delegations, and mutual support in international fora, recognizing that our peoples’ liberation struggles are bound together. The NDFP has consistently defended the right of the Palestinian people to resist occupation by all means, and the PFLP has in turn expressed solidarity with the Filipino people’s fight for genuine independence and democracy.
We honor Abu Khalil and Commander Hussein not only as martyrs of the Palestinian cause but also as comrades-in-arms in the struggle for national and social liberation. Their example calls on all who fight against oppression, exploitation and occupation to remain steadfast, disciplined, and united.
From Palestine to the Philippines: Glory to the martyrs! Freedom for Palestine!
