Egypt bombs Islamic State convoy along Israel border — reports
The Egyptian Air Force earlier today struck a convoy of Islamic State vehicles near the Egyptian-Israeli border, Cairo says according to reports in Hebrew-language media.
The vehicles were said to have been transporting ammunition and explosives.
Egypt has struggled to quell the jihadist group based in the Sinai Peninsula and smaller militant groups in the mainland since the military overthrew Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013 and cracked down on his supporters.
