This was not the first execution by ISIS in Sinai. Earlier this month, the group’s cells executed a pro-government tribal fighter in the area of al-Burth to the south of Rafah city in the northern part of the peninsula.

ISIS cells have been waging an insurgency against Egyptian government forces in Sinai since November of 2014. Over the last few years, the group’s activities in the peninsula saw a slow decline.

On April 11, the group released photos of its fighters in Sinai going about their daily chores, which include praying and guarding their hideouts.

ISIS recent media releases from Sinai are meant to immediate the locals as well as to exaggerate the group’s influence and presence in the peninsula.
