Formation Salafiya Jihadiya in the
Sinai was established in 2012 by
Mohammed al-Zawahiri, it was created in order to fight
Egyptian Security Forces and
Israeli forces in the Sinai and
Gaza Strip.
Presence in the Sinai The group, and many other groups in the Sinai Peninsula, has ties with
Al-Qaeda, 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.
Presence in the Gaza Strip Ever since the creation of the militant group, Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya has battled Egyptian Forces and Israeli Forces in-and-out the Gaza strip, 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. == References ==
