Fedayeen

Fedayeen (فِدائيّين fidāʼīyīn, "redeemers" or "those who sacrifice"; Armenian: Ֆէտայի Fedayi, Hebrew: פַדַאיוּן fada'iun, referring only to the 1950s groups) are a type of voluntary militant group in West Asian culture. Fedayeen are not normally connected to an organized government or military and often operate in areas with little or no government control. They are associated with the role of resistance against occupation or tyranny.
