Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade

Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade is a Palestinian nationalist militant group associated with the Fatah movement. It was formed in 2000 during the Second Intifada and is known for carrying out attacks against Israeli military and civilian targets. The group claims to fight for Palestinian independence and the defense of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque. While it presents itself as a resistance organization, its activities have involved violence that has led to widespread controversy and condemnation. Its actions are part of the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict, reflecting deep political, religious, and national tensions in the region.
