Formed by Abd al-Aziz Awda and Fathi Shaqaq as a splinter group of the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic Jihad was established in Egypt in 1979.
In 1981, two years after he courageously made peace with Israel, Anwar Sadat was assassinated by the Egyptian branch of Islamic Jihad. Egypt subsequently expelled Palestinian Islamic Jihad members to Gaza, leading to the formal founding of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), also known as the Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine.
Considered a terrorist organization by dozens of countries around the world, PIJ’s leadership is based in Damascus, Syria, and provided with millions of dollars in training, weapons, and direct funding by the Iranian government.
