Palestinian Mujahideen Movement

The Palestinian Mujahideen Movement (Arabic: حركة المجاهدين الفلسطينية, romanized: Harakat al-Mujāhidīn al-Filastīnīa) is a Palestinian political organisation that split from the Fatah Movement alongside its military wing, the Mujahideen Brigades, which originated from the Martyr Jamal Al-Omari Brigade of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. The movement was founded in 2001 and led by founder Omar Abu Sharia, at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
