Palestinian Freedom Movement ({{langx|ar|حركة الأحرار الفلسطينية}}) is a Palestinian militant political party. Initially known as Fatah al-Yasir ({{langx|ar|فتح الياسر}}), the organization was created by former Fatah members after the Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip in June 2007. The party was led by {{ill|Khalid Abu-Hilal|ar|خالد أبو هلال}} ("Abu Adham"), spokesman of the previous Hamas-led government, until his assassination in November 2023.{{cite web|url=https://www.saba.ye/en/news3281615.htm|title=Hamas mourns martyr, national leader & Secretary-General of Free Movement, Khaled Abu Hilal|work=Saba News Agency|date=18 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231225093135/https://www.saba.ye/en/news3281615.htm|archive-date=25 December 2023}} The party is named after Yasser Arafat.
