Abu Ali Mustafa (/ˈɑːbuːˈɑːliˈmuːstəfə/ⓘ; Arabic: أبو علي مصطفى; 1938 – 27 August 2001), also known as Mustafa Ali Zabri and by the kunya Mustafa Alhaj, was a Palestinian militant who served as the General Secretary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) from July 2000 until he was assassinated by Israeli forces in a targeted killing on 27 August 2001. Mustafa was succeeded as Secretary General by Ahmad Saadat, and the PFLP subsequently renamed their armed wing in the Palestinian territories the Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades.[1][2]
