The Jenin Brigades, or Jenin Battalion (Arabic: كتيبة جنين; romanized: Katībat Ǧinīn), is a Palestinian militant group in the West Bank. It was founded in Jenin in 2021 by Jamil Al-Amouri, a militant of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The organization is based in the Jenin refugee camp in the North of the West Bank.
The Jenin Brigades have engaged in armed skirmishes with Israeli forces.[2] They claim they "are the resistance". They call for armed resistance against Israel and for the Palestinian authorities to take part in the movement.[3]
