Al-Tahleh, 59, has its origins in the coastal city of Ramle, from which his family was displaced in 1948, so he lived his life as a refugee in Jordan, and remained committed to his right to return to the land of his forefathers, until he met God a martyr in the battle of "the sword of Jerusalem" on the last day of the blessed month of Ramadan.

Al-Tahleh - according to his wife who accompanied him in Gaza for years - was subjected to several assassination attempts by the occupation forces, until his death was responsible for the cyber security and electronic development in the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas).
