The Kuwaiti paper Al Rai is quoting senior Egyptian military sources claiming that Egyptian forces have stopped a terror attack by the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the Hamas military wing, against Army facilities in Sinai.
According to the report, a 15-man terror cell attacked soldiers in an attempt to release jailed members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The group entered Egyptian territory through the smuggling tunnels connecting Gaza to the Sinai.
