Descriptions

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade is a coalition of secular nationalist Palestinian militants that emerged during the Second Intifada in 2000. The entity’s principal aim is to establish a sovereign Palestinian state loyal to Fatah.

— Australian Sanctions Consolidated List, 2023-04-20

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade (AAMB) emerged at the outset of the 2000 Palestinian al-Aqsa intifada. AAMB’s ideological roots are in their allegiance to the Fatah, a left-wing political and military organization founded with the aim of wrestling Palestine away from Israeli control through low-intensity guerilla tactics. While AAMB is loyal to the Fatah, it is not under its direct control. Due to AAMB’s decentralized structure their funding is relatively ambiguous, though it’s believed that funding is mostly delivered from Iran through Hezbollah facilitators. Iran is thought to exploit AAMB’s lack of resources and decentralized leadership structure to ‘guide’ the organization in support to various AAMB cell’s anti-Israeli agenda. AAMB attacks Israeli military targets and Israeli settlers, aiming to expel Israeli presence from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and to establish an independent and sovereign Palestinian state there. On January 28, 2023, AAMB carried out a small-arms attack that killed seven Israeli civilians in East Jerusalem. On October 7, 2023 after Hamas launched an attack against Israel that claimed hundreds of lives, dozens of clashes between the Israeli military and Palestinian armed groups including AAMB, resulted in at least 12 reported fatalities.
