Jihad Islamique

The Jihad Islamique, or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, is a militant organization founded in the late 1970s, primarily focused on armed resistance against Israel. It is known for its commitment to the establishment of an Islamic state in historic Palestine and has been involved in numerous attacks against Israeli targets. The group has received support from Iran and is considered a terrorist organization by several countries. Recently, it was in the news due to an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the deaths of four individuals in eastern Lebanon, which the Israeli military claimed were affiliated with the group.
