The Knights of Oneness [FE; Forsan Ettawhid] was a small and little-known jihadi outfit based in the Sousse governorate.¹ It operated under the instructions of unidentified foreign-based Tunisian operatives of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [DaIISh; Dawlat al-Islamiya fi-Iraq wal ash-Sham].² The group’s members were in contact with jihadis in Egypt, Iraq, Libya and Syria.³

The module was rolled up by Tunisian authorities in late February 2017 when police arrested four of its key members.⁴
