Saraya Al-Quds

Saraya al-Quds (), approximately meaning Jerusalem Brigades and sometimes translated as "Al-Quds Brigades" (AQB), is the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamist organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which was founded in 1981 by Fathi Shaqaqi and Abd Al Aziz Awda in Gaza. It is now, the second largest militant group in the Gaza Strip, after Hamas. Currently the AQB's leader is Ziyad al-Nakhalah, who lives in Beirut, Lebanon. The head of AQB in the Gaza Strip was Baha Abu al-Ata until he was killed in a airstrike in November 2019.
