Islamic State Leader in Sinai Surrenders to Egyptian Authorities
(Al-Monitor) Islamic State commander in Sinai Mohamed Saad Kamel, also known as Abu Hamza al-Qadi, turned himself in to the Association of Sinai Tribes, a Bedouin tribal union loyal to the Egyptian military, on Sept. 10. Security analyst Nasr Salem noted a "marked deterioration" in IS' capabilities and its gradual collapse. Analyst Muneer Adeeb said, "Attacks by IS militants against the tribes - among other things - caused the tribes to start viewing them as an enemy. The coming together of the military and the tribes will surely speed up the eradication of IS."
