At 1:50 PM EET on 24 November 2017, the al-Rawda mosque was attacked by roughly 40 gunmen during Friday prayers. The mosque is located in the village of Al-Rawda[6] east of the town of Bir al-Abed in Egypt's North Sinai Governorate. It is one of the main mosques associated with the Jaririya Sufi order, one of the largest Sufi orders in North Sinai. The Jaririya order is named for its founder, Sheikh Eid Abu Jarir, who was a member of the Sawarka tribe and the Jarira clan. The Jarira clan resides in the vicinity of Bir al-Abed.[7][8] The attack killed 311 people and injured at least 128, making it the deadliest attack in Egyptian history.[2] It was the second-deadliest terrorist attack of 2017, after the Mogadishu bombings on 14 October.[9] The attack was universally condemned by many world leaders and organizations.
