Egyptian military command post in Sinai
DEBKAfile Special Report Jul 15, 2013, 11:59 AM (IDT)
The last ten days have seen dozens killed and hundreds wounded in battles between Egyptian security forces and increasingly aggressive Islamist Salafists, as well as Palestinian Hamas and Jihad Islami fighters, DEBKAfile reports. The Egyptian military has clamped a news blackout on the Sinai battlefield. One of four flashpoints is located on the Sinai-Gaza border where the Salafists are fighting to impede Egyptian military operations to block smuggling tunnels. A second is in El Arish; a third along the Egyptian-Israeli border and a fourth in Jebel Halal.
