The Islamic Group is a Sunni Islamist political party in Lebanon. The party was founded in 1964 by members of the Lebanese branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, partly inspired by Gamal Abdel Nasser's efforts at Arab unity. The party supported the establishment of a legal order in Lebanon that was based on Islamic sharia, and it closely followed the Brotherhood's doctrines. The party's armed wing, the Fajr Forces, participated in rocket attacks on Israel amid the Israel-Hamas War of late 2023, formally joining the war on 5 November.
