Israel Fears Terror Campaign in Sinai

A team of Israeli security and government officials visited Cairo on Monday to express concern over the possibility of a new wave of terror attacks in the Sinai Peninsula, the Arabic daily A-Sharq Al-Awsat reports. Israel is concerned the mass exodus of Palestinians from Gaza [1] over the last week has allowed terrorists based in the coastal enclave to move into Egyptian controlled Sinai, where they can launch attacks on Israeli vacationers. The Media Line’s cameras filmed weapons being moved across the Gaza-Egypt border after Hamas supporters blew seven holes in the frontier wall. Sinai has witnessed several terror attacks in recent years, mainly aimed at the hotels where Israeli tourists stay.
