Palestinian Authority Security Forces

The Palestinian National Security Forces are the paramilitary security forces of the State of Palestine. The name may either refer to all National Security Forces, including some special services but not including the Interior Security Forces, the Presidential Guard and General Intelligence, or refer to the main force within the National Security Forces. Since the signing of the Oslo Accords, these forces operate in areas controlled by the Palestinian National Authority. In 2003, the organizations were merged into the Palestinian Security Services.
