Fatah and Attacks on Israel from Jerusalem, Palestine

From Jerusalem, Palestine, Yasser Arafat organized most of his attacks upon Israel. Yasser Arafat’s group was called Fatah, they had the method of ‘armed struggle’ to try to take out Israel. From the period between 1965 and 1967, Fatah carried out many bombings and attacks on Israeli villages, water pipes, railways, and homes. One memorable one was the explosives planted at Mitzpe Massua and on the road to Jerusalem. Many Israelis were killed in these attacks. In the July of 1968, Fatah joined a group called the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which Arafat would later, in 1969, become the president of.
