Fatah, the Palestinian Liberation Organization's largest faction, was established by Yasser Arafat
in Kuwait in the late 1950s to promote the founding of a Palestinian state.

Fatah, which means, “conquest by means of Jihad,” is the reverse acronym of Palestinian Liberation Movement. The faction maintains several armed groups, such as Tanzim
and al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades,
which have been linked to numerous attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF forces.
