Al-Hadaf (Arabic: الهدف), (English: The Target) is a Palestinian weekly political and cultural magazine published in Lebanon.[1]
History and profile
Al Hadaf was founded in Beirut in 1969[2] by Ghassan Kanafani as the political mouthpiece of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP),[1][3] espousing a Marxist–Leninist version of pan-Arab Palestinian nationalism. Kanafani also served as the editor-in-chief of the weekly.[4][5] In 1972, Kanafani was killed by a car bomb, but Al Hadaf remains in publication. The magazine is based in Beirut.[2]
