IS claims responsibility for deadly Sinai attack on military personnelEgypt
Responding to this story from yesterday.
[AlAhram] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group grabbed credit for the terrorist attack that killed 11 Egyptian Armed Forces men and injured five others on Saturday in western Sinai.

The terrorist group grabbed credit in a statement on Sunday via its Amaq News Agency, which was also released on Telegram, according to AFP.

The so-called ’Wilayat Sina’ (’Sinai Province’) — an affiliate of Islamic State in North Sinai — repeatedly grabbed credit for several terrorist attacks in North Sinai in recent years.

Thousands of people attended on Sunday the funerals for the dear departed soldiers.

The Armed Forces announced in a Saturday statement that it foiled an attack on a water lifting station, noting that the bully boyz who carried out the attack are currently being hunted down and besieged in an isolated area in Sinai.
Locals reportedly claimed the bad guys were cornered in the town of Qantara in Ismailia province, but nothing further has been reported from there.
Terrorist attacks in North Sinai have declined in recent years following massive and successive security and military operations.

These attacks targeted security forces, particularly at military and police checkpoints, as well as civilians, causing hundreds of casualties.

Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, the water was up to Jack's neck and still rising. And then he smelled the smoke...
hundreds of bad boyz were potted in anti-terror military operations, according to periodical Armed Forces reports.

In 2018, the Armed Forces launched a major counter-terrorist drive titled ’Comprehensive Operation Sinai 2018’ that has succeeded in almost eradicating terrorism from North Sinai as well as the Nile Delta and desert areas. # id) ?>
