Israeli drone reportedly killed IS-linked fighter in Sinai

A Palestinian fighter linked to the Islamic State jihadist group in the Sinai Peninsula was reportedly killed by an Israeli drone.

According to Hebrew-language media reports, a publication linked to the IS faction in the Egyptian territory says that Gaza native Zaher Abu Sitta was killed by the drone strike earlier this week.

The reported strikes were in the area of Rafah and Sheikh Zweid in northern Sinai, and came shortly after the firing of two rockets on Sunday night that landed in the Eshkol region of Israel causing no damage or injuries.

IS group took responsibility for the attacks yesterday.
