A Palestinian militant group refers to organizations that engage in armed resistance against perceived oppression or occupation, primarily in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These groups often seek to achieve political goals through military means, including attacks on military and civilian targets. One of the most well-known Palestinian militant groups is Hamas, which governs the Gaza Strip and has been involved in various conflicts with Israel. Other groups, such as Islamic Jihad, also operate in the region, each with its own ideologies and objectives related to Palestinian nationalism and resistance.
