[IsraelTimes] Top Islamic State commander reportedly promises to aid smuggling at Egyptian border in exchange for advanced weapons

Top 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....
commander in Sinai Shadi Al-Menii met with Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, officials in Gazoo Thursday in order to discuss cooperation between the two terrorist groups, according to a Channel 2 report.
It's pretty bad when even a local television station has spies in Hamas's inner circle.
Al-Menii, who belongs to one of the Bedouin tribes in the north of the Sinai peninsula, fled to the Gazoo Strip in May of 2015 after his organization attacked a military base and killed an Egyptian soldier, Haaretz reported. A bounty worth one million Egyptian pounds was placed on his head.

According to Channel 2, Al-Menii’s branch of IS in Sinai were to help Hamas operatives smuggle arms into the strip via tunnels in return for sophisticated weapons.

Israeli officials have often claimed that there is a quiet cooperation between Hamas and IS in Sinai. In July 2015 former defense minister Moshe Ya’alon said Hamas had joined forces with IS turbans fighting the Egyptian army in Sinai, Haaretz reported.

"There exists a cooperation between Hamas in Gazoo and IS in Sinai," Ya’alon said.

"In the [Gazoo] Strip, Hamas is fighting IS offshoots, but on the other hand, [Hamas] is cooperating with IS in the Sinai peninsula in their offensive against the Egyptian army.
