Abu Ali Mustafa was succeeded as the PFLP's Secretary-General by imprisoned comrade Ahmed Sa'adat, who did not delay in getting revenge. On the day of Abu Ali's assassination, the Red Eagles Brigades assassinated Meir Lixenberg, who oversaw a number of West Bank settlements. Ahmed Sa'adat sought to avenge his comrade who had ascended: "An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. A head for a head." Nothing less could avenge. Sa'adat delivered these historic words in his first speech, renaming the Red Eagles Brigades in Abu Ali's honor, and redefining the PFLP's motto, vowing revenge. Days later on October 17th, PFLP commandos assassinated zionist minister Rehavam Ze'evi to avenge Abu Ali Mustafa. Heroes Majdi Al-Rimawi, Hamdi Qaraan, and Basil Al-Asmar booked themselves into the Hyatt Regency in Al-Quds with fake passports to prepare for the day of glory. Equipped with silencers, Hamdi spotted Ze'evi, grabbing his attention with a nonchalant "hey." Ze'evi turned around, and three silent bullets pierced the minister's skull. For this speech and the ensuing operation, Ahmed Sa'adat, the heroes of the operation, and Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades commander-in-chief Ahed Abu Ghalama were kidnapped by the Palestinian Authority in January 2002, kept in the infamous Areeha prison under the auspices of Jibril Rajoub and Tawfiq Tirawi (additional link). Guarded by American, Canadian, and British guards, the PA handed Sa'adat over to the zionist entity in March 2002. Today, Sa'adat leads the PFLP from "Ramon" prison, where he and PFLP leadership continue to face abuse at the hands of the zionists.
