ISIS-Sinai operatives, in one of the most significant attacks of recent times, managed to kill 11 soldiers and officers of the 551st Egyptian Army Battalion and wound five more.
The equally significant part - the location of the attack - the Alcantara area, on the east bank of the Suez Canal.
Just last month, the Egyptians boasted an all-time record in revenue from the passage of ships in the Suez Canal - and that is exactly what they were aiming at in Sinai ISIS when they launched an attack on an Egyptian outpost in the area of ??the Alcantara water station, on the banks of the canal.
Despite the Egyptian marketing attempts the result is very dismal for them and Chinese ISIS manages to move west.
It was no less interesting to see today and yesterday the factors that issued condemnation of the event and identification with the Egyptians: Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Syria, Israel, Hezbollah, the PA and more and more.
Location in the attack is marked on the attached map.
