CHAPTER FIVE
The Military Organisation of the Revolt
The Formation of the Fasa’il: !
During the early stages of the revolt in early 1936, the various rebel
groups in the different parts of the country did not have any
organisational structure, and with the exception of some of the groups
which were operating under the leadership of some of the local leaders
who were beginning to emerge and to form and lead rebel groups,
especially in Jenin, Nablus, and Tulkarm, areas, most rebel groups were
operating without any clear leadership. Each of latter the groups
comprised a few men who would launch an attack on a British target, or
a Jewish settlement, or sabotage railways and cut telephone lines.
“There was no leader, no fasa’il, only ten or fifteen of us,
would decide to launch an attack; and if we needed help in
the battle, armed men from other villages would come to
our aid™
