Egypt hunts Sinai terrorists; ‘we’ll strike Gaza if needed’

In a report published on Al-Ahram’s online edition Monday morning, the security source is quoted as saying that Egyptian army helicopters, accompanied by ground forces, have launched a manhunt for the suspects in the deadly attack on an Egyptian police station in the northern Sinai Peninsula, near the border with Israel.

The forces have surrounded Rafah to prevent the suspects from escaping, the report said.

Egyptian analysts who were interviewed overnight demanded that Hamas security forces in Gaza cooperate with Egypt in the effort to apprehend the terrorists. “If we will be forced to strike Gaza, as Israel has, we will do it – if it is proven that those who committed the attack came from Gaza,” one of the military analysts said.
