The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades (Arabic: كتائب شهداء الأقصى, romanized: Katāʾib Shuhadāʾ al-Aqṣā)[a] are a Fatah-aligned coalition of Palestinian armed groups in the West Bank[5] and the Gaza Strip.[7]
Created in 2000 amidst the Second Intifada,[8] the Brigades previously operated as the official armed wing of the Fatah political party before separating from them in 2007.[9] Presently, the organization continues to be politically aligned with Fatah[5] and nonetheless sometimes still presents itself as the party's armed wing, an association rejected by Fatah leadership.[8][10]
The al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades have conducted various armed attacks on Israeli military and civilian targets since 2000. Notably, they have participated in the ongoing Gaza war (2023–present) alongside Hamas and other allied Palestinian factions.[8][10][11]
The Brigades have been designated as a terrorist organization by Israel, the European Union,[12][13] Canada,[14] Japan,[15] New Zealand,[16] and the United States.[17]
