The attack near Mount Sagi, during which three IDF soldiers fell, is painful testimony to the chaos in northern Sinai. ISIS cells, rogue Bedouin tribes and drug and weapons smuggling are just the apprentices of a sandstorm that has been raging for a long time on the peninsula.

If it turns out that the Egyptian policeman carried out a planned and initiated operation, there will be a grave concern that a calculated attempt to sabotage the relationship between the IDF and the Egyptian security forces was also carried out.
