IS in Sinai: We are nearing Israel border, IAF attacking us
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Islamic State offshoot in the Sinai says it is nearing the border with Israel, and claims that the Israeli Air Force is taking part in airstrikes on its positions.
According to Channel 2, the head of the jihadist group in Sinai tells the news agency considered close to IS that despite Israel’s technological superiority, its intelligence is inadequate and its attacks ineffective.
“Israel is attacking our subsidiary in the Sinai with the weapons and technology it has, but it lacks intelligence,” says Abu Hajar al-Hashemi.
“So far, the Jews have only intervened in the war against us in Sinai with aerial attacks. We are getting closer to the border every day,” he says.
