Egypt, according to the official narrative, has been fighting a hard “war” against “a large and serious presence of radical militant groups that have been stationed in Sinai since the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood.” (…)
“Let us face it, the direct border between Egypt and Gaza is not even under the full control of Hamas. It is rather under the control of more radical groups that are in operational contact with Al-Qaeda and ISIL (the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant). This is a very serious matter,” he said.
