Born in the town Al Qoubaiyat in northern Lebanon, he joined the Lebanese Armed Revolutionary Factions (LARF) when the group formed following the discontinuation of the PFLP-EO. Georges became leader of the organization, and conducted its operations from France, where he used the aliases of Salih al-Masri and Abdu-Qadir Saadi.
In 1984, Abdallah was driving to Lyon from Switzerland to pick up a deposit for an apartment when he was pulled over by chance by French Police. He was found with a forged Algerian passport and subsequently arrested. Police found out his true identity during a police raid of his apartment where several guns were found. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 for the 1982 murder of Lieutenant Colonel Charles R. Ray, an assistant US military attaché and murder of Israeli diplomat Yaakov Bar-Simantov outside his home in Paris on 3 April 1982, as well as involvement in the attempted assassination of former American consul in Strasbourg Robert O. Homme, on 26 March 1984. The murders were for American and Israeli involvement in the 1982 Lebanon War as well as their occupation of Lebanon.
Abdallah is imprisoned in France and has released communiqués from prison in solidarity with prisoners from other Communist groups, such as Ahmad Saadat, Action Directe and GRAPO.
