Media resources insured that the lieutenant Motasem Mustafa Kassab died due to a wound he attained in Tal Kurdi area in Damascus suburb on 11-9-2015 in addition to the death of the Lieutenant Mohammed Ahmed Saleh due to a wound he attained in Darea area in Damascus suburb on 11-9-2015.  

This follows the death and injury of dozens of PLA members at Tal Kurdi area in Damascus Suburb and the continuation of battles in this area due to the attempts of the Opposition forces to reach Adra prison. It is referred that AGPS documented 145 victims from the PLA members, who died in clashes in several areas in Syria since the beginning of war.

Dozens of Activists from the families of the victims and the PLA recruits demanded the PLA, PLO and the concerned sides not to engage their sons in the ongoing conflict in Syria, not to send them to the tension areas and to stop the bloodshed of the Palestinian people in a battle that is not their battle.

It is noted that the Palestinian Syrian refugees are obliged to military services in the PLA and each one that doesn’t go would be exposed to punishment. The compulsory service forced the young people , who refused it during the ongoing war is Syria, to leave Syria and travel to adjacent countries, where a number of PLA broke away from the army and joined the Opposition groups to fight against the Regime. It is mentioned that the PLA Staff Chiefs imposed on the PLA Members to participate in the battles supporting the Regular Army in the conflict areas and to go through continuous clashes with the Opposition Military forces in several areas in Syria like Tal Kurdi area in Damascus Suburb.
