About
Jump to
Khalil Izz el-Deen al-Jamal (Arabic: خليل عز الدين الجمل) (January 21, 1951 – 15 April 1968) was the first Lebanese commando to be killed in action in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. His death in April 1968 in Jordan, during a skirmish with Israeli forces known as the Battle of Tel Arbaein ("Hill Forty", (تل الاربعين)), resulted in hundreds of Lebanese youth joining the Palestinian fedayeen. His funeral, attended by between 150,000 to 250,000 people, was widely seen as an expression of Lebanese solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
