The Sinai Peninsula witnessed a significant decrease in ISIS attacks against civilians and the Egyptian Army during the last two weeks. This reflects a success of the Egyptian Army’s operations there.
Hm, would it be still wise to make hollydays there? :S
its as safe as every other destination since the fanatics are everywhere,,,,,,Europe is totally conquered…
According to sources on the ground, there isn’t really an IS presence on the Sinai peninsula. IS is just a straw man for an operation that’s intended to get military aid and stop supply to Palestinian militants. So Egypt is doing this to get money from the US and do a favour to Israel.
There is an IS presence in the Sinai peninsula, and they have killed numerous military and civilian personnel. The only “obvious” thing here is that youre a delusional tinfoil hat wearing jihadist sympathizer.
Quit trolling, Davki.

it makes me glad to see that the General means business in Sinai. Took a great risk there since casualties are to be expected and noone wants that (public opinion that is) but he is determined to make Egypt safe again. The whole world is watching….give those fanatics hell!
I suspect they are being sent by Israel.
ISIS versus Sisi and the IAF = dead ISIS.
