Egypt’s military has confirmed on Friday that a “limited explosion” struck a vital natural gas pipeline in the northern part of the Sinai peninsula on Thursday.
This after on the same night the Islamic State announced via its Telegram channel that it sabotaged the gas pipeline, which transports natural gas between Egypt and Israel.

Egyptian security officials described that at least six masked militants planted explosives under the pipeline near the remote town of el-Arish, while Reuters cited witnesses who say it caused a major blast in the process.
However, despite regional news reports airing footage of a fireball over the sight reaching high into the sky, authorities say it didn’t impact gas transport and that the pipeline is still operational.
“Three witnesses told Reuters they saw flames and thick plumes of smoke rose from the pipeline, from their vantage points in and around the city of al-Arish,” according to a report. “North Sinai local authorities said in a statement the fire had been extinguished and it had not affected gas supplies.”
ISIS claimed it caused “great material damage” to the line but didn’t offer evidence. It may have also been another local allied terror group.
This is the 2nd time #ISIS have claimed to attack a gas pipeline connecting #Egypt and #Israel this year, last time was on February 3, for reference:https://t.co/JOJVgyLheT

The Al Arish-Al Qantara natural gas pipeline, also sometimes called simply the Arab pipeline, has been subject of multiple similar attacks in recent years, given it controversially links Egypt and Israel.
Meanwhile Israel is reportedly considering more oil and gas transit deals with Arab states, given the latest US-brokered peace and ‘normalization’ of ties deals struck between the Jewish state and the UAE, Bahrain, and with the latest in the works being Arab League member Sudan.
What a pathetic bunch of attention seeking losers they are. Maybe if the World ignored them completely, they would just disappear altogether?
Ignoring them is a bad idea. However, incidents like this should be treated like a criminal act (as oppose to an act of war) and dealt with accordingly.
Ignoring them is very bad idea. We should be vocal against Wahhabi dirtbags. This is clearly Mossads job, or someone (who it might be) else sabotage, and blamed on ISIS.
“This is clearly Mossads job ….. sabotage, and blamed on ISIS” – You’re extremely stupid. You say that Israel blew up the gas pipeline that connects it with Egypt to blame ISIS. LOL.
I don’t talk to slave man.
Zerohedge is a JewishZionistTrumpist site, Why is SF frequently using Zerohedge and giving that site legitimacy, even RT CroosTalk using that site!

The Mullahs regime needs to decide whether Russia is a friend or an enemy. Why are Iranians constantly spreading lies in order to harm Russia?
Chabad is running Kremlin.
You’re cynical. But your remark really reflect the fact that when Russia does something that the fools don’t like, they immediately accuse Russia / Putin of being ruled by Jewish oligarchs.
I hope you are not sugesting that I expected Russia to go threaten Israel. I’m pointing the obvius facts to those that are still naive to fatasize about that.
“I hope you are not sugesting that I expected Russia to go threaten Israel.” – I an not sugesting that . I understand your cynicism in the context of those who expect this to happen.
I like to be cynical on Russian bigots energic antisemitism when they talk about USA, then suddenly stop replying when I remind them 90 Russian billionaires are jews.

Egypt has been attempting to eradicate muslim brohood in sinai since Morsi was deposed. Israel buys gas/oil from Egypt/Azerbijian
The terrorists failed, Israel and Egypt will keep working closely together.
