Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya in the Sinai (Arabic: السلفية الجهادية في سيناء, romanized: al-Salafīyah al-jihādīyah fī Sīnāʼ, lit. 'Salafi Jihadist Movement in the Sinai') is an Egyptian jihadist militant organization.
History[edit]
Formation[edit]
Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya in the Sinai was established in 2012 by Mohammed al-Zawahiri,[1] it was created in order to fight Egyptian Security Forces and Israeli forces in the Sinai and Gaza Strip.[2]
Presence in the Sinai[edit]
The group, and many other groups in the Sinai Peninsula, had ties with Al-Qaeda,[3] 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.[4]
Presence in the Gaza Strip[edit]
Ever since the creation of the militant group, Al-Salafiya Al-Jihadiya has batteled Egyptian Forces and Israeli Forces in-and-out the Gaza strip,[5] 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.[6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
