A video that shows youngsters at a summer camp run by Fatah in the West Bank practicing military drills and learning military tactics was uploaded to the Odai Algool Almgwar channel on YouTube on Monday.

According to the video and translation provided by MEMRI, the participants were dressed in combat vests, battle-dress uniforms and yellow Fatah headbands while practicing urban combat with what appear to be rifles.
