Preceded by Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine
The Sabireen Movement, officially the Movement of the Patient ones in Support for Palestine– Hisn (Arabic: حركة الصابرين نصراً لفلسطين - حِصن), was a Shiite Palestinian militant group that operated from 15 May 2014 to March 2019.
The movement was formed by a number of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) leaders who converted to Shiism and were dissatisfied with the PIJ's leadership and with Hamas's position in the Yemeni Civil War, where it supported the Saudi-led intervention, and the Syrian Civil War, where it supported the opposition. The group was described as an Iranian attempt to replace Hamas with a Shiite movement that shared its stance on Syria, and was added to the American list of Specially Designated Global Terrorist Organizations.
The movement claimed to have expanded into the West Bank in 2016, but it was effectively destroyed by Hamas in 2019, when Hamas arrested its leader, Hisham Salem, and only released him after the movement's members gave up their arms. Salem was granted asylum in Iran, while ordinary members either returned to Sunni Islam and rejoined the PIJ or joined the Shiite Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba in Iraq.
