The Islamic State (IS)-affiliated terrorist group “Sinai Province” published photos on Monday that showed a brutal slaughter of a boy the group claims to be a member of the North Sinai “Al-Tarabin” tribe. A masked man appears in black clothes with a knife while the boy is lifted to a tree and brutally killed. The incident can be seen as an act of revenge against the “Al-Tarabin” tribe, members of which recently engaged in clashes with the “Sinai Province.”The Tarabin, along with other Sinai tribes including the Al-Sawarka, has officially declared war against the local IS-affiliate. Following the deadly attack on a mosque in the Bir al-Abd area west of the city of al-Arish on November 24, a union of Sinai tribes vowed in a statement to eliminate the presence of militants in the peninsula. The attack, the deadliest in Egypt’s modern history, has been widely condemned across Egypt and throughout the world.
