HASAM portrays itself as a nationalist movement attempting to overthrow the government of Egypt. HASAM announced its existence on July 16, 2016, when it claimed responsibility for an attack in Tameeya, Egypt, which left 2 policemen dead and 1 injured. Since then, HASAM has primarily targeted the Egyptian security apparatus, which the organization describes as enablers of the regime. In addition to other attacks, HASAM claimed responsibility for the March 26, 2017, bombing in Qalyubia governorate which wounded 5 members of Egypt's security forces; the May 1, 2017, night time attack on an Egyptian police patrol which killed at least 3 policemen; and, the July 20, 2017, shooting attack on a police convoy in which 1 officer was killed and 3 more were wounded.
