Dozens of rockets have been fired at Israel from Gaza ,so far, at civilian population.

At least 15 Egyptian soldiers have been killed in an ambush by unknown gunmen at a security checkpoint in Rafah, a city in North Sinai near the border to the Gaza Strip.

The gunmen were driving four-wheeled off road vehicles when they attacked the troops, witnesses said.

They took control of two Egyptian armored vehicles, and exploded one of them, reported Ahmad Bagato, Al Arabiya correspondent.

They carried out the attack at Iftar time, when soldiers were busy breaking their Ramadan fast.

“It seems the attack was sudden and well-coordinated, using heavy arms,” Bagato said.

I wonder how the new Islamic Government will react

:'-(... They attacked them while they were breaking their fast.

 

[Zabaniyah]

That's very troubling to read...

I mean seriously, first off committing violence during Ramadan, and attack them while breaking their fast?

I hope they are not dead, so we can give them over to the families of the Egyptian soldiers they've murdered.

These maggots need to be squashed - I've seen what the Palestinians can do first hand, during Iraq's occupation of Kuwait, they turned on their old benefactors within a blink!

RIP: Egyptian soldiers and if any Israeli casualty.

7 of the terrorists have been killed by Israeli forces. They are judged by a higher power now and i hope they burn.

From where did you get the news that they were Palestinians? All the news I read stated that they were militants without identifying the nationality.

The terrorists who killed approx. 15 Egyptian security personnel, stole 2 Egyptian military vehicles and tried to cross into #Israel

One of the military vehicles exploded at Kerem Shalom crossing. The second vehicle was targeted by #IDF from the air.

The #IDF is searching the Kerem Shalom area for terrorists. Some of them were already killed by IDF troops.

There are no casualties on the Israeli side.

By foiling the terrorists' attempt to breach the border into Israel, a bigger terrorist attack was prevented.

The Egyptian State Tv actually said that.

Would Hamas really be that stupid?

RIP to the dead and a speedy recovery to anyone who is injured.

This is slaughtering

At least 15 Egyptian border guards were killed Sunday in an attack against a post located in the Sinai near the border between Egypt and Israel, medical and security sources said. Gunmen dressed as Sinai Bedouins arrived in two vehicles and opened fire on the post, according to a security official. The attack left 13 dead, according to medical sources. Between 13 to 15 died, according to a security official who also reported seven wounded.

The gunmen have also seized an armored vehicle belonging to the border guards, according to this source. The attack occurred near the Karm Abu Salem crossing, located between Egypt and Israel.

Egypt's official MENA news agency reported an attack by unknown armed men against a barrier in the region of Al-Massoura in Sinai, and a shootout between them and the police. The agency confirmed the deaths but without providing the toll.

Sinai, where the most beautiful tourist resorts are located, is populated largely by Bedouins, who were marginalized under the former Mubarak regime. Since its downfall, the security situation has deteriorated.

Last month, two Egyptian soldiers were killed by suspected Islamist militants in the northern Sinai Peninsula. The attack was carried out at dawn by four gunmen with automatic weapons near the Sheikh Zouwaid town, some 15 miles from the Gaza border. It came after Islamist militants had distributed leaflets calling the army to leave the north of the peninsula where it was deployed to restore security. The Egyptian army had sent tanks and men to this region last year after receiving permission from Israel for such a deployment.

The Palestinians cannot forever use rocks and slings. They are getting massacred on their own land by settlers.

Unconfirmed Reports that the terrorists got inside Egypt through the tunnels between Gaza and Egypt.

There is no slaughter in West Bank, tho these Egyptian soldiers were indeed slaughtered.
