Terrorists attack Egypt base killing 15, infiltrate Israel
Global jihad terrorists attack Egyptian military base in Sinai, stealing 2 armored vehicles and ramming through Kerem Shalom Crossing; firefight with IDF soldiers ensues, at least 3 terrorists killed.Global jihad terrorists infiltrated into Israel on Sunday night after breaking into an Egyptian military base and stealing two armored jeeps. One of the vehicles exploded as it rammed through the Kerem Shalom Crossing into Israel and another crossed through. Several armed terrorists exited the vehicle and a firefight broke out with IDF troops as dozens of mortars rained down on nearby communities. Al Arabiya reported that 15 Egyptian soldiers were killed in the attack on their base and several more were wounded. The attack began at around 8 PM, likely in retaliation to an Israeli airstrike earlier in the day against a global jihad terror cell which the IDF said was in the final stages of launching an attack against Israel along the Egyptian border. One terrorist was killed in the strike and another was seriously injured. Posted by: tipper 2012-08-05 |
