No Egypt-Israel Coordination on Sinai Airstrike
(Al-Ahram-Egypt) On Saturday, an informed source denied claims of coordination between the Egyptian armed forces and Israel in an attack launched on Friday in northern Sinai against "terrorists and jihadists." "The intelligence apparatus found out that there was a plan by jihadists to target several vital spots in Sinai and to destroy the Al-Salam bridge crossing the Suez canal on the second day of Eid El-Fitr [Friday]," said the source. "Egyptian military helicopters attacked the spot, and succeeded in destroying the rockets," which he said were made in Iran.
