The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement (Arabic: حركة المجاهدين الفلسطينية, romanized: Haraka Al-Mujahideen Al-FilisTynya) is a Palestinian Islamic insurgent group that split from the Fatah Movement alongside its military wing, the Mujahideen Brigades, previously represented its forces by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the Martyr Jamal Al-Amari Brigade. The movement was founded in 2001 and led by founder Omar Abu Sharia, at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.[1] HistoryThe movement was established in 2001 as a military faction known as the Mujahideen Battalion, headed by the founder, Omar Abu Sharia, with the beginning of the second intifada. As of 2007, the movement is headed by Asad Abu Sharia, after his brother Omar Abu Sharia was killed during a targeted attack carried out by Israel. In 2012, a cell of the movement from Hebron and the Gaza Strip planned to kidnap an Israeli citizen, as a bargaining chip for the release of terrorists from the movement imprisoned in Israel.[2] Over the years, the movement became a member of the Hamas-led government in Gaza and cooperated with it in operations, supplying weapons and training.[3] Militant divisionsThe movement has a faction called the "Daham" unit (Arabic: داهم), which is the "Israeli Arab Martyrs" unit of the movement.[citation needed] References
