Fatah or the Palestine Liberation Movement (the name is derived from the initials of the Arabic name, Harakat Tahrir Filistin, in reverse) was founded by Arafat and a handful of close comrades in the late 1950s. They wanted to rally Palestinians in the diaspora to launch commando raids on the young Israeli state. The group came out into the open in 1965; under Arafat's effective leadership it became the strongest and best-organised of the Palestinian
factions and it has remained so ever since.
Fatah has had its own militias in the past, the Fatah Hawks. Arafat loyalists, the Fatah Hawks were key players in the first Palestinian intifada which broke out in 1987. The Fatah Hawks were dissolved, but in 1995 the Fatah leadership instituted its own militia, the Tanzim.
The word Tanzim is Arabic for "organisation." The Tanzim can be considered a "reincarnation" of the Fatah Hawks. It is only partially controled by Arafat now.

Yellow flags are associated with Fatah. Frequently long vertical flags are displayed with the Fatah (or also Youth Fatah) emblem in the center and inscriptions above and/or below.

Three
varieties of yellow-field "Fatah" flags being paraded in the Gaza Strip; c. Jan.
2013. The flags at the top right and left look similar, but the left version
carries an additional slogan in Arabic just above the Fatah logo. The middle
flag shows a portrait of Yasser Arafat above the Fatah logo.

A photo accompanies this article from REUTERS:
Relatives carry the body of a Palestinian man during a funeral inside the Jabalya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip (news - web sites), December 16, 2003. Two Palestinians were killed overnight on Tuesday when troops opened fire on a group of people approaching Gaza's border fence with Israel, security sources said. At daybreak, soldiers searching the area found the bodies, apparently unarmed, near the border. REUTERS/Jerry Lampen

The photo of the covering of the body, probably a flag, is interesting – a seal over writing over a background resembling a keffiyah.

The c. 1998 light-yellow flag of the Palestinian "Fateh Youth Organization" which has been around since at least 1985. "Fateh" is probably more widely spelled in English as "Fatah" (which means "Faith"). There is a flag-pole sleeve at the right side (hoist). [Not to be confused with the "Fatah Youth Movement" -- although there may be some overlapping in goals or membership.]
