The Brigades were established in 2000. Initially, the group was named the Popular Resistance Forces, before its name changed, in 2001, to the Abu Ali Mustafa Martyr Brigades – following the Israeli assassination of the leader of the PFLP in his office in Al-Bireh in the West Bank.
The ideology of the group is Marxist, and it operates mostly in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
With the outbreak of the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000, the activity of the Popular Resistance Forces focused mostly on attacking Israeli occupation forces, detonating IEDs and raiding Israeli military checkpoints.
In 2001, the Secretary-General of the PFLP, known by his nom de guerre Abu Ali Mustafa, was assassinated. The group retaliated 40 days later, assassinating extremist Israeli Minister of Tourism Rehavam Ze’evi.
Throughout the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the Brigades became active in confronting the Israeli occupation and fought several battles against it, the most famous of which was the battle of Al-Ain camp.
Its activities in Gaza became highlighted during the Israeli war on the Strip in 2008-2009. Since then, it continued to play an important role in resisting Israeli military incursion and wars on the besieged Strip.
In the ongoing Israeli war and genocide on Gaza, the Abu Ali Mustafa Martyr Brigades developed its resistance capabilities further, to the extent that that its fighters carry out several operations a day, either independently or jointly with other resistance groups, including Hamas and the Islamic Jihad.
Below are the latest statements by the main Resistance forces in Gaza.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.
