DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. July 14, 2016, 10:43 AM (IDT)
Four members of the Egyptian security forces were killed and dozens were wounded in two attacks by ISIS in the Sinai Peninsula on Wednesday night. In the first incident, near the city of Al-Arish in the north, a powerful roadside bomb was detonated as an armored vehicle passed by, killing three soldiers. Later, ISIS gunmen opened fire on a sentry at a military checkpoint near the town of Sheikh Zuweid, killing him and wounding many others.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
