Concept information
Preferred term
al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades
Definition
- A coalition of Palestinian West Bank militias that became increasingly violent during 2002, the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades are known for committing deadly suicide bombing attacks against Israel. Unlike Hamas and other Palestinian groups that use suicide-bombing tactics, the brigades’ ideology is reportedly based on Palestinian nationalism rather than Muslim fundamentalism.
