The Black Hand Association/Society (Egyptian Arabic: جمعية اليد السوداء, romanized: Jam'ia al-Yad al-Sawda') was one of the irregular armed organizations that arose in Egypt in order to resist the British occupation.

[1] The assassination of Sir Lee Stack was the biggest blow to the group after it was proven that a number of members of the association were involved in the incident.

[1][2] Historians have not inferred the time of the founding of the Black Hand Society, as there are no historical documents proving this because it worked in secret.

[1][3] According to the book Heroes of the Secret Service of the 1919 Revolution by the writer Sabri Abu al-Majd, there was a student called Sayyid Pasha who studied at the teachers' school and joined with his colleagues to a revolutionary group after the arrest of Saad Zaghloul, and that he was the founder of the Black Hand group, and his way of doing so was to make friendships with a number of railway workers, he used railway workshops and factories to manufacture completely primitive bombs, which could work by placing chemicals that would cause an explosion.

[1] Sayyid's mission was not limited to supply, but he was able to manufacture the first weapon in the revolution, to fill the gap of resistance to the British, as he formed a committee accompanied by Ahmad Abdel Hay Kira, and they thought about increasing weapons by chemically manufacturing bombs, so they brought a book in the English language, and they devoted themselves to studying it.

[1] In historian Ahmad Qasim's writings of Ali al-Haddad, one of the organization's members, he said that he was close to two people, al-Nuqrashi and Ahmad Maher, the latter of whom was an assistant to Abdel Rahman Fahmy, founder and director of the Secret Service, and one of Ahmad Maher's roles was to recruit young men and join the Black Hand, which increased its activity by planning political assassinations following the military court's ruling death sentences imposed on 51 Egyptians in Minya and Asyut, and the sentence was executed for 34 of them, including the Bakbashi Mahammad Kamel, the sheriff who led the Asyut Revolution, in addition to the execution of 3 Egyptians who led the al-Wasti Revolution in Faiyum.

Rather, the wording of the secret letters that Abdel Rahman Fahmy was sending it indicating that he was carrying good news to the leader of the 1919 revolution, and that he was calling the one who tried to assassinate the Prime Minister as having a nationalist spirit.

In 1924, the political arena witnessed the peak of tension after the clash between Prime Minister Saad Zaghloul Pasha and King Fuad I was repeated.

The momentous incident occurred at two o’clock in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 19, after the Sirdar of the Egyptian Army and the Governor-General of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan left his office at the Ministry of War, heading to his home in Zamalek.
