Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni
The Army of the Holy War or Holy War Army (; "Jaysh al-Jihād al-Muqaddas") was a Palestinian Arab irregular force in the 1947-48 Palestinian civil war led by Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni and Hasan Salama. The force has been described as Husayni's "personal" army. The Arab League set up the Arab Salvation Army ("Jaysh al-Inqadh al-Arabi") as a counter to the Army of the Holy War while, in practice, the Arab governments prevented thousands of volunteers from joining either force.
