-* With the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), several units were created to assist with law enforcement and border security. The earliest camouflage design to make an appearance within the Security Forces was a copy of the [[USA|US]] m81 [[woodland]] pattern in various types of fabric. The earliest appearance of woodland camouflage was around 1994-95 and it has continued to be part of the inventory of the National Security Forces into the present day.

 * As early as 1995, units of the Palestinian Security Services could be seen wearing a copy of the [[USA|American]] six-color [[chocolate chip]] desert pattern. The pattern continued to see use for more than a decade, and eventually made its way to Palestinian insurgent groups as well.

-The name Palestine (Παλαιστίνη, or فِلَسْطِين) historically refers to region lying between the Mediterranean sea and the River Jordan. It can also refer to the British Mandate of Palestine, established by the League of Nations in 1922, which became the State of [[Israel]] in 1948, and sparked a decades-long struggle between Jews and Palestinians (as well as neighboring Arab states) for control of the region. Israel retains absolute authority over the region, although it has relinquished some limited rights of self-governance to Palestinians living in certain areas.
+The name Palestine (originally Παλαιστίνη, or فِلَسْطِين) historically refers to region lying between the Mediterranean sea and the River Jordan, part of the Levant. It can also refer to the British Mandate of Palestine, established by the League of Nations in 1922, which became the State of [[Israel]] in 1948, and sparked a decades-long struggle between Jews and Palestinians (as well as neighboring Arab states) for control of the region.

 Founded in 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organization (منظمة التحرير الفلسطينية) was established as a political and paramilitary orgnization with the stated goal of the "liberation of Palestine." Since 1974 it has considered the establishment of an independent Palestinian state of the highest priority. The term ''fedayeen'' (فِدائيّين), meaning "men of sacrifice" or "redeemers," was first applied to Palestinian fighters by [[Egypt|Egyptian]] President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who began arming and organizing small units for his own purposes beginning in 1955.<ref>Samuel M. Katz, ''Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars (2)'' (Osprey Publishing Ltd, London, 198), p 22</ref> Paramilitary factions of the PLO (most of whom call themselves ''fedayeen'') have employed guerilla warfare tactics from bases in [[Jordan]], [[Syria]], [[Lebanon]], and within Israel to attack Israeli military and civilian targets, and some ultra-militant groups are responsible for terrorist practices, including kidnappings, assassinations, bombings, and the like. Although a Charter exists, there is no governing mechanism within the PLO, and a number of factions claiming membership have been established, many of them with incongruent goals and methods. The following list identifies some of the former and current member factions of the PLO:

This design is one of the most prolific within the National Security Forces.
