Report: Sinai Terrorists Target Arab-Israelis

(Ynet News) Roi Kais - Terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula are planning to target Israelis, including Arab-Israelis, as part of a larger plan to cause damage to the Sinai tourism industry and Egypt's economy in general. Al-Sharq Al-Awasat quotes an "Israeli defense source" who speaks of a number of armed terror cells affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda and even Hamas. "They have come out of hiding to carry out terrorist attacks in an attempt to create anarchy in the Sinai Peninsula, to undermine the Egyptian army and avenge Morsi's ouster," he said. The Egyptian Al-Masry Al-Youm quoted a defense source saying that the terrorists are planning to lay explosives near defense facilities and tourist centers in Sinai and fire missiles at those targets.
