Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya in the Sinai (Arabic: السلفية الجهادية في سيناء, romanized: al-Salafīyah al-jihādīyah fī Sīnāʼ, lit. 'Salafi Jihadist Movement in the Sinai') is an Egyptian jihadist militant organization.
History
Formation
Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya in the Sinai was established in 2012 by Mohammed al-Zawahiri,[1] it was created in order to fight Egyptian Security Forces and Israeli forces in the Sinai and Gaza Strip.[2]
Presence in the Sinai
The group, and many other groups in the Sinai Peninsula, had ties with Al-Qaeda,[3] and was one of the many groups who committed terrorist attacks on civilians and Egyptian Armed Forces during many periods of terrorist attacks in the Sinai in 2012 through 2013.[4]
Presence in the Gaza Strip
Ever since the creation of the militant group, Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya has batteled Egyptian Forces and Israeli Forces in-and-out the Gaza strip,[5] but it is mostly considered a lone group since both the Salafist organizations, Sheikh Omar Hadid Brigade and the PIJ don't fully recognize themselves an ally of Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya in the Sinai.[6]
