Biography[]
Born in Belgium in 1935, he studied engineering and worked in France before moving to the Middle East to practice his profession.
As an anti-zionist extremist, Coudroy would eventually engage in Fatah (the Palestinian National Liberation Movement) and take the lead of a brigade.
He wrote a book there: J'ai vécu la résistance palestinienne (I lived the Palestinian resistance) shortly before his death.[1]
He was shot by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) on June 3, 1968. He was the first European to die on the front against the state of Israel.[2]
