IS accuses Israel of bombing Sinai base
2016-01-27
[IsraelTimes] The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 group claims that Israeli Apache gunships, aided by a drone, have bombed one of its bases in the northern Sinai peninsula, across Israel's border with Egypt.

The IDF refuses to comment on the unlikely report.
"Pshaw! Not to mention piffle!" Though of course the Israelis could easily do such a thing, were they adequately annoyed.

#12  One would hope Sisi and Bibi would have a gentleman's agreement to allow this to happen.

I personally have expected to find out a lot of the Egyptian bombing raids in the Sinai are actually IDF in mufti

#6  I wonder why Islam doesn't have the concept of excommunication.

They have. Killing apostates is a form of excommunication.

#5  I wonder why Islam doesn't have the concept of excommunication. Christians and Jews do. So on one hand, ISIL is not Islamic but on the other hand ISIL members are not excommunicated from Islam so remain part of Islam. Just one big backstabbing family.
