...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... fighters in the Gazoo Strip while helping the fellow terrorist group transfer weapons to the Sinai Peninsula, where heavy fighting continues between the ISIS-affiliated Sinai Province and the Egyptian army, Avi Issacharoff reported Sunday in The Times of Israel. Egyptian authorities have claimed that Hamas has been crucial to the rise of Sinai Province, transforming it from, in the words of one Egyptian official, "a gang of Bedouin with light weapons into a well-trained, well-gang of 800 bully boys." Ynet reported last December that Hamas has been funding Sinai Province with tens of thousands of dollars per month in weapons sales, and that the IDF was intensifying efforts to collect information on the group after it issued several threats against Israel. That month, a Sinai Province commander met with Hamas officials in order to increase cooperation between the terrorist groups, especially in the area of arms smuggling. These growing ties -- which reportedly also include explosives manufacturing, communications and logistical assistance, and hospitalization for injured fighters -- have enraged Egyptian officials, who recently confronted Hamas over its close collaboration with the Sinai-based terrorist group. | |
