| Ten killed in Egypt's Sinai after rocket struck home |
| 2014-11-19 |
| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Ten people including women and kiddies were killed in Egypt's restive Sinai Peninsula on Tuesday when a rocket struck their home, security and medical official said. It was not immediately clear whether it was a missile fired by one of the Egyptian army helicopters that have repeatedly struck Death Eaters, or an errant mortar round from the Lion of Islams, security officials said. Three children, three women and four men in the house south of the Rafah border town were killed in the blast, medics said. They have not yet been identified. The military is battling an Islamist Death Eater insurgency in the peninsula that has killed scores of coppers and soldiers, since the army overthrew Islamist president Mohammed Morsi last year and cracked down on his supporters. The leading Death Eater group, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, has pledged its allegiance to the Islamic State ...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.... group in Iraq and Syria. Ansar claimed credit for an attack on a checkpoint in October in which jacket wallah blew up a car and then snuffies combed the ruins to shoot dead the survivors. The government declared a state of emergency in parts of north Sinai after that attack and are raising homes to create a buffer zone with the neighbouring Paleostinian Gazoo Strip. Civilians in the mostly Bedouin towns of Sinai had been caught in the crossfire before, with several killed by an errant mortar round. |

| #6 Magic rockets. Allan, who knows his own, guides them with his holey left pointer finger towards the weak believers. Could be this gathering did not turn around five times chanting kill the jews before tea, insalata. Sort of like a drunken cross-eyed Apollo, but without the refinement and flair. |

| #2 Hamas' compass broken? As I recall, AlanC, around a quarter of Gazan rockets miss Israel altogether, whether landing within Gaza, in the Egyptian Sinai, or occasionally in Jordan. |
