Gaza Islamists Head to Sinai to Fight Egyptian Army
(Ynet News) Roi Kais - Dozens of members of terrorist groups affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood have left Gaza for the Sinai Peninsula to fight the Egyptian army after the ouster of President Morsi. They took part in battles in El-Arish over the weekend and attacked several Egyptian army posts. A senior Egyptian official told Al-Hayat that Egyptian authorities have observed the entry of 150 Izz al-Din al-Qassam [Hamas] operatives into Sinai via the tunnels. "They were wearing uniforms associated with the military police before joining Jihadists in Sinai," he said. Egyptian security sources told Al-Masry Al-Youm that Muslim Brotherhood officials are overseeing terrorist activity against army and police forces in Sinai and coordinating these efforts with commanders in Hamas' military wing.
