The Palestine Liberation Army (PLA; Arabic: جيش التحرير الفلسطيني, romanized: Jaysh at-Taḥrīr al-Filasṭīnī) is ostensibly the military wing of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), set up at the 1964 Arab League summit held in Alexandria, Egypt, with the mission of fighting Israel. However, it has never been under effective PLO control, but rather it has been controlled by its various host governments, usually Syria. Even though it initially operated in several countries, the present-day PLA is only active in Syria and recruits male Palestinian refugees.[3]
