ISIL insurgency in Tunisia refers to the ongoing militant and terror activity of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant branch in Tunisia . The activity of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant ( ISIL ) in Tunisia began in June 2015 , with the Sousse attacks , though an earlier terror incident in Bardo Museum in March 2015 was claimed by ISIL , while the Tunisian government blamed Okba Ibn Nafaa Brigade for the attack . Following massive border clashes near Ben Guerdane in March 2016 , the activity of the ISIL group was described as an armed insurgency , switching from previous tactics of sporadic suicide attacks to attempts to gain territorial control
