Watan-A group calling itself the “Al-Farouq Brigades” in Sinai, Egypt, announced its support for the Palestinian resistance in its battle against the Israeli occupation forces, which have been waging a campaign of extermination against the besieged Gaza Strip since October 7th of last year.<\/p>\n

The Al-Farouq Brigades released a statement, seemingly recorded about 22 days prior, addressing messages to the Zionist entity, Arab armies, and the people. The video was leaked shortly after reports of armed individuals attempting to breach the border from the Egyptian side with Gaza, leading to clashes at the Al-Auja crossing. Egyptian authorities claimed they were drug smugglers.<\/p>\n

The emergence of this group comes about a year after the Egyptian regime’s announcement, by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, of “eliminating terrorism.” In April of the previous year, he declared that “terrorism has ended in Egypt,” emphasizing that only the state’s weapons would be allowed.<\/p>\n

The video of the alleged Al-Farouq Brigades has circulated on social media without official comments from Egyptian security authorities until now. Analysts speculate that this group may be affiliated with the Sinai Province organization or Ansar Beit al-Maqdis.<\/p>\n
