Historical Context
Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) emerged in the Gaza Strip during the early 1980s, founded by Fathi al-Shiqaqi and Abd al-Aziz Awda. Influenced by Islamist political movements and the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the organization developed as a militant Palestinian faction advocating the establishment of an Islamic state throughout historic Palestine.
In 1992, the organization formally established its military wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, known in Arabic as Saraya al-Quds. The organization subsequently opposed the 1993 Oslo Accords and engaged in armed operations against Israel, including suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and attacks targeting Israeli military personnel and civilians.
Throughout the Second Intifada and subsequent conflicts in Gaza, the Al-Quds Brigades became one of the principal Palestinian armed factions alongside Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Although organizationally distinct from Hamas, the two factions have cooperated in military operations. Palestinian Islamic Jihad has also maintained longstanding financial and military relationships with Iran.
The movement’s insignia incorporates religious, nationalist, and militant imagery. Elements such as the map of Palestine, clenched fists, and references to Jerusalem reflect the organization’s ideological identity and territorial objectives. Black-and-gold variations of its imagery have appeared on organizational materials and insignia.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad has been designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the United States since October 8, 1997, and is designated as a terrorist organization by several other governments.
