The Palestinian resistance group, known as the Jenin Brigades or Jenin Battalion, emerged in the Jenin camp. It was founded in 2021 by Jamil Al-Amouri as a Palestinian resistance group affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).
The organization is based in the Jenin refugee camp in the north of the West Bank, serving as a local branch for the al-Quds Brigades, it has evolved into a coalition of armed resistance members from various factions, akin to the Lion's Den group in Nablus. Al-Monitor reports a high level of coordination between the two groups.
According to Moein Odeh, an expert on Palestinian affairs, the Jenin Brigades comprise teenagers and men in their early twenties. They lack a clear hierarchical command structure, posing challenges in tracking down members. Observers note that the formation of the Jenin Brigades and similar groups stems from "a complete loss of confidence in the Palestinian political leadership".
