Israel Offers Condolences over Mosque Massacre, will “Lend a Hand” to Help Egypt Fight ISIS
by TheTower.org Staff | 11.27.17 11:22 am

Israel has said that it would “lend a hand” to Egypt to fight terrorists and leaders from across the political spectrum have sent condolences to Egypt after 305 people were killed in an attack by a group likely affiliated with the terrorist organization Islamic State on a Sufi mosque in the Sinai Peninsula on Friday.

Between 25 and 30 armed men carried out the assault on the crowded al Rawdah mosque in Bir al-Abed during prayers, settling off explosives and spraying worshippers with gunfire, in the deadliest ever attack on Egyptian civilians by Islamic extremists. Sufi Muslims practice a mystical form of Islam for which they are branded heretics.

“The Israeli defense establishment expressed its sympathies and, as always, is willing to lend a hand to any country in order to help fight terror,” an Israeli security official told The Times of Israel on Sunday. He added, “That’s how it was in this case, and how it will also be in the future.”

I have seen hinted in recent years, that Israel and Saudi Arabia quietly work on anti-terrorism in some way.

Egypt and Israel cooerated for a long time, until Obama and Hillary screwed up their detente.
