(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Israeli view is that the Fedayeen were recruited, armed and trained mainly by Egypt's security forces under the control of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser to kill as many Israeli civilians as they could ambush on roads and in isolated communities.
The Fedayeen name was later selected by Saddam Hussain to designate his Fedayeen Saddam, in part to imply a connection to the Palestinian resistance.
