Hamas Commander Killed by Egyptian Forces in Sinai
2015-02-12
[Algemeiner] A commander of the Hamas terrorist group's Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades was reportedly killed by an Egyptian army Arclight airstrike in the Sinai Peninsula.

Abdallah Saeed Kashta, 25, from the southern Gazoo town of Rafah, was killed as part of a raid by Egyptian forces against 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
-affiliated Wilayat Sinai jihadist group (formerly known as Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis
...Supporters of Jerusalem, the current pen name of al-Qaeda in the Sinai Peninsula...
) last Friday, Sky News Arabia reported.

Israel's Channel 2 reported that Kashta was cooperating with the Sinai jihadist group.

Earlier this month, an Egyptian court designated the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's "military wing," as a terrorist organization. The crackdown on Hamas is part of a wider campaign in Egypt against the Moslem Brüderbund, Hamas's parent group.

Hamas: We do not have fighters outside of Palestine

Hamas' military wing said on Wednesday that it has no militants "outside of Palestine" in response to a report by Britain's Sky News that reported a Hamas commander was killed in clashes with Egyptian security forces in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

#2  a lot of Islamists have become 'jihadists of fortune' working with multiple Islamist groups

aside from the enhanced possibility of being killed, another downside is that they have to memorize more passwords, safe phone numbers and so on
