It has an armed wing, the Mujahideen Brigades, though in practice there seems to be little distinction between the group’s military and political wings. The Brigades have claimed responsibility for rocket fire against Israel and operate in cooperation with Islamic Jihad‘s al-Quds Brigades. The secretary general of the Palestinian Mujahideen Movement was Dr As’ad Abu Sharia until his death in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza in June 2025. Image via Palestinian Mujahideen Movement website
