Israeli Defense Ministry official on ISIS attacks in Egypt

Gen. (res)) Amos Gilead, political adviser at the Israeli defense Ministry, commended Egypt Friday for its resolute battle against ISIS. He noted that Egyptian security had managed to rein in the Islamists’ terrorist offensive in Egypt proper. This comment came in the wake of simultaneous Islamist State offshoot’s attacks on four Sinai towns Thursday night, killing at least 27 Egyptian troops and injuring about 100.
