On Sunday, the Salafi Jihadi group, one of the biggest Sinai-based Islamist militant groups, issued a statement on a jihadist website saying that “current events ravaging the country” were affecting Sinai.
It also threatened attacks on the “repressive practices” of the police and military forces on people in Sinai.
The group has issued statements threatening attacks on Israel previously, but this was the ‘first known’ direct threat they have issued ‘against Egyptian security forces’.
