Palestinian militant faction

Fatah al Intifada (فتح الانتفاضة Fatah Uprising) is a Palestinian militant faction founded by Said Muragha, better known as Abu Musa. Officially it refers to itself as the Palestinian National Liberation Movement "Fatah" (حركة التحرير الوطني الفلسطيني فتح), the identical name of the major Fatah movement. Syria provided extensive backing as the Abu Musa forces attacked Arafat loyalists in Fatah, while several radical PLO organizations in the Rejectionist Front stayed on the sidelines. Fatah al Intifada took part in the Battle of Tripoli (1983). The fighting led to heavy losses on both sides, and helped Syria extend its influence into Palestinian held areas of Lebanon.

In 1985 88, Fatah al Intifada took part in the War of the camps, a Syrian attempt to root out the PLO from its refugee camp strongholds backed by the Shiite Amal militia and some Palestinian rejectionist factions. It would join the Palestinian National Salvation Front in 1985 and oppose the Oslo Accords in 1993. By 2018, however, it began to lay off its fighters due to the decreasing intensity of the civil war and lack of funds.

Fatah al Intifada has been reported to be among the factions fighting in the 2023 2024 Gaza war.

The aims of the Fatah al Intifada movement are the "liberation of Palestine by both armed struggle and armed resistance, and the establishment of the independent Palestine state with noble Jerusalem as its capital". There was also a political dimension: the organization took a more leftist view than the generally apolitical Fatah, and used socialist rhetoric. Abu Musa is known to have advocated the view that the Lebanese Civil War was not a sectarian conflict, but a form of class war.

Abu Musa was the leader of the group until his death in 2013. The post of Secretary General is now held by Abu Hazim, while Abu Fadi Hammad acts as Regional Secretary General for Lebanon.

During the 1980s, Fatah al Intifada committed a number of attacks on Israel, including on Israeli civilians, but it has not been involved in violence against Israel since sometime before the Oslo Accords in 1993.
