Thousands of people rallied in the center of Ramallah today to mark the 57th anniversary of the launch of Fatah movement.
Participants hoisted the yellow Fatah flag alongside the red, white, black, and green Palestinian flag as they shouted slogans in support of the struggle until independence.
Speakers at the rally hailed the launch, saying it has reinvigorated the Palestinian identity following the 1948 Israeli occupation of Palestine that turned the Palestinians into refugees.
On January 1, 1965, Fatah, also known as the Palestinian National Liberation Movement, launched its first commando attack against Israel, setting the ground for the start of the armed struggle for the liberation of Palestine.
It is the largest of the Palestinian political factions that compose the Palestine Liberation Organization, recognized as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
