Egyptian military sources stated that the army shot and killed a suicide bomber on his way to Israel, destroyed vehicle carrying rocket launcher.

The Egyptian army thwarted an attack against Israel on Wednesday night, killing a suicide bomber who ran towards the border near Kerem Shalom, Egyptian military sources said.

The Egyptian sources told the Palestinian Ma'an News Agency in a report published Thursday that the suicide bomber carried an explosive device in addition to wearing an explosive belt on his body.

The sources also said that the army destroyed a vehicle loaded with Grad rockets before they were fired at Israel.

The attack on the vehicle killed two individuals, taking place in the north Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid near the border with the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, in tandem with Israel’s ongoing operations in Gaza, the Egyptian army continued its ongoing operations against terrorist elements in Sinai. The army killed three terrorists, injured two others, and arrested 16 on Wednesday night, the army spokesman announced on Facebook.

Payback is a B**** for Hamas. Support the Brotherhood and when they are out you are out. Excellent article yesterday in WSJ that even Iran is pissed at Hamas because they blew off IRAN for the Brotherhood. When the Brotherhood was disposed in the counter-revolution, Hamas went back to Iran for support. Iran ignored them.

A couple observations.

1. Not all Muslims are enemies of civilization. The Egyptian government/military just proved that fact.

2. This Egyptian government WAS NOT the one Barack Hussein Obama supported. He backed the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, vowed HATERS of Jews and the nation of Israel.

Think you will see any of this in the media? Ha.

Israel has what Egypt needs — advanced technology such as the Iron Dome to protect itself against its Shiite enemies, including Iran and its nuclear bomb, and economic cooperation to help construct peaceful Egyptian infrastructure such as desalination plants, etc., to improve Egypt’s economy.

And Egypt has what Israel needs — an ally who will fight alongside it to defeat its terrorist enemies like Hamas, which Egypt has just proven it is willing to do.

Meanwhile, Obama’s America is proving to be the enemy of both Israel and Egypt by sending Hamas tens of millions of dollars to continue its evil terrorist activities against Israel and Egypt.
