Summary
This chapter consists of three sections. I begin by analyzing the importance of the former secular-nationalist militants for PIJ’s transformation into an armed movement. I then proceed by assessing the type of violence the movement carried out in this period, and what this means for our understanding of PIJ’s organizational structure. Finally, I conclude this chapter by analyzing the relationship between PIJ and the Palestinian Muslim Brotherhood after the latter transformed into Hamas.
