The Tulkarm Brigade, or Tulkarm Battalion is an armed Palestinian militant group which is affiliated with various Palestinian political factions. The Tulkarm Brigade appeared first in March 2022 in the Palestinian city of Tulkarm in the West Bank, and is based in the city of Tulkarm and its camps (Tulkarm camp and Noor Sham camp). The battalion was established in late 2021 as a group for the Al-Quds Brigades, although it became independent in March 2022 with its founder Saif Abu Labdeh. Many fighters from Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades joined this group, and in early 2023 many Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades members joined the battalion under the name "Rapid Response Group" founded by Amir Abu Khadijeh.

Attacks
On March 23, 2023, the group claimed to infiltrate the occupied territories near Al-Deir Gate, attacking a vehicle and resulting in the deaths of at least 4 Israeli soldiers.[2]
