Palestine Liberation Army

The Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) is a military organization established in 1964 to support Palestinian national goals. It operates primarily as the armed wing of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and has historically been linked to the Palestine Liberation Organization’s efforts for Palestinian self-determination. The PLA has been involved in various conflicts in the Middle East and has received backing from countries like Syria. It functions both as a symbol of Palestinian resistance and as a military force, though its role and influence have varied over time due to regional politics and shifting alliances.
