IS in Sinai threatens Israel, then kills two Egyptian conscripts
2016-08-04
[IsraelTimes] A video purportedly by Egypt’s Islamic State affiliate
...formerly known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis
...Supporters of Jerusalem, the current pen name of al-Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula...
has delivered a threat to Israel, saying the Jewish state will soon "pay a high price," a media watchdog group said on Tuesday.

Released on Monday, the 35-minute video titled "Desert Flame" also purports to show footage of alleged attacks by IS holy warriors against Egyptian security forces in the Sinai Peninsula, according to the US-based group Middle East Media Research Institute, which translated the clip.

Jihadists in the video accuse the Egyptian army of arresting and killing its fighters, and urge more foreigners to come join their ranks in an effort to "build the foundation of the Caliphate."

In the clip, the narrator claims that in light of Egypt’s "failure" to protect Israel from jihadist attacks from the Sinai Peninsula, "the Jews started protecting themselves by "strictly protecting [the border], recruiting agents, and [launching] Arclight airstrikes."

The voiceover then says: "Oh Jews, wait for us. The punishment [we have prepared for you] is severe and soon you will pay a high price."

The footage ends with kidnapped Egyptian servicemen Mohammad Abd Al-Raheem Al-Qalawi and Majdi Majdi Mas’ad being shot in the head.
Perhaps they're mad that Israel has sent drones across the border to shoot them, or that they've permitted the Egyptian army to bring in tanks...or possibly they're just bilious after a bad dinner.
