Andre Villas-Boas thinks it is "incredible" Chelsea sacked Jose Mourinho just seven months after winning the Premier League title. The 38-year-old manager was bemused by Blues owner Roman Abramovich's decision to discard the most successful coach in the club's history.
Villas-Boas enjoyed a nine-month spell in charge of the Stamford Bridge club earlier in his career and said Mourinho's dismissal continued a trend at Chelsea. "The only thing that has been quite incredible to see is that [sacking] was applied to everybody. It was applied for their dearest coach and their most successful coach," he told beIN Sports.
"So in the end, we have seen nothing different. Roman has sacked basically every coach he had and is no different – it happened even to the best. The same criteria he applied to me, to Rafa Benitez and for all the other coaches, to [Carlo] Ancelotti and now he has applied to Jose as well. And it's [now] a new chapter."
Villas-Boas is currently in charge of Zenit St Petersburg, but confirmed in September 2015 that he will leave the Russian club at the end of the 2014-15 season. However, the Portuguese boss said he has no desire to return to the Premier League "circus", having also been sacked as Tottenham Hotspur boss in 2013.
"It's a chapter that I've tried and things didn't go well. By the time that I left Porto I had a few offers, and I probably chose the club that I shouldn't have gone to [Chelsea]. It's a bad experience and it's in the past," he said.
"Tottenham, I really enjoyed the first year, and by the time I left we had almost as many points as in the season before when we broke the points record. But these are things that people don't evaluate, only I know about. But it's the reality of football.
"The Premier League is a circus, it's constantly changing. It's full of emotion, ups and downs, unpredictability and this makes it the spectacle that it is. That chapter is gone for me and I'm looking for more stability right now."

Jul. 9--A former elementary school principal charged in the death of her husband will face a Kern County jury in October.
Leslie Chance, 52, appeared in court July 9 for a hearing to determine a new trial date and to establish legal counsel. Her initial trial, which began in late May, was declared a mistrial on June 28. Tony Lidgett was appointed to be Chance's new attorney after Paul Cadman, Chance's former attorney, declared he had a conflict of interest and could no longer serve Chance.
The trial is rescheduled to begin Oct. 21.
Chance was charged in the murder of her husband, Todd Chance, 45, on Aug. 25, 2013. If convicted, she could face life in prison.
Prosecutors say the couple drove that morning to the area of Noriega Road near Enos Lane, where Chance is alleged to have shot and killed her husband. Prosecutors say she abandoned the car in a nearby neighborhood and returned home by taxi and on foot.
Chance was first arrested days after her husband's body was found, but was released days later when prosecutors requested further inquiry from investigators with the Kern County Sheriff's Office. She was arrested again in December 2016.
Chance, who was principal at Fairview Elementary School during the time of the shooting, was expected to receive around $250,000 from her husband's life insurance policies, according to court documents.

E.U. May Punish Italy for Stalemate on Animal Research
A legislative stalemate over animal research could become costly for Italy. On 23 January, the European Commission asked the E.U. Court of Justice to impose a fine of more than €4.5 million per month for failing to incorporate a 2010 E.U. directive on animal testing into its national laws. A new law on animal tests has been the subject of a fierce debate in Italy.E.U. directive 2010/63 aims to harmonize the protection of animals in research across the European Union and minimize their use by requiring alternatives to be used when available. All 27 E.U. member states were supposed to have "transposed" the directive in national legislation by 10 November 2012. Six other countries—Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, the Netherlands, and Poland—have failed to do so, for various reasons. A spokesperson for the Environment Directorate-General says the commission may ask for punishment for those countries, too; their cases don't all move at the same speed, he says. Whether a fine is actually imposed is up to the court.In Italy's case, the directive's transposition has become entangled in a struggle over the future of animal testing in the country. A draft law that is now wending its way through the political system would put far-reaching limitations on animal testing that go well beyond those required by the European Union, and some wonder whether it is in compliance with the E.U. directive. If not, that could cause further problems for the country in the future.Sign up for our daily newsletterGet more great content like this delivered right to you!Country *AfghanistanAland IslandsAlbaniaAlgeriaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBolivia, Plurinational State ofBonaire, Sint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCape VerdeCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos (Keeling) IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo, The Democratic Republic of theCook IslandsCosta RicaCote D'IvoireCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzech RepublicDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEthiopiaFalkland Islands (Malvinas)Faroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and Mcdonald IslandsHoly See (Vatican City State)HondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIran, Islamic Republic ofIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea, Democratic People's Republic ofKorea, Republic ofKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People's Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyan Arab JamahiriyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMacedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic ofMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMoldova, Republic ofMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorwayOmanPakistanPalestinianPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalQatarReunionRomaniaRussian FederationRWANDASaint Barthélemy Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint Martin (French part)Saint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint Maarten (Dutch part)SlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwazilandSwedenSwitzerlandSyrian Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzania, United Republic ofThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkeyTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuela, Bolivarian Republic ofVietnamVirgin Islands, BritishWallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweI also wish to receive emails from AAAS/Science and Science advertisers, including information on products, services and special offers which may include but are not limited to news, careers information & upcoming events.Required fields are included by an asterisk(*)The latest development in the political process came on the same day the commission referred Italy's case to the court, when the Senate's Committee on Health and Hygiene approved the current draft bill. The bill still has to go to a committee at the Chamber of Deputies before it comes back to the government for the president's signature. Scientists say the law would damage scientific research in the country, and they recently launched a petition in protest. But the current version of the bill would postpone until 2017 three controversial bans: on drug abuse research involving animals; xenotransplantation; and breeding dogs, cats, and nonhuman primates for scientific purposes.Countries are allowed to have more restrictive rules than those in the E.U. directive only if they were already in place before September 2010. This is not the case for Italy, which could expose the country to a so-called infringement procedure by the commission. Emilia Grazia De Biasi, chair of the Senate's Health and Hygiene Committee, has asked the government to assess whether the new law would be compliant with the E.U. directive.Italy should just transpose the directive without further modifications, as most countries have done, says Roberto Caminiti, a physiologist at the University of Rome La Sapienza and chair of the Committee on Animals in Research for the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies. Postponing the most controversial restrictions in the law is "a clumsy attempt to have the best of both worlds," he says. Caminiti says Italian politicians don't know or care enough about science to resist the animal rights movement and blames media for spreading "misinformation" about animal research.Ilaria Capua, a former avian influenza researcher and now a member of the Chamber of Deputies, agrees that Italy should respect its obligations within the European Union and pass a law that is compliant with the directive. Not doing so—and incurring a fine—is "expensive nonsense," Capua says. But Michela Kuan, a biologist and a member of the animal rights group Lega Anti Vivisezione in Rome, says Italy's problems weren't caused by animal rights activists or the political debate, but by the animal research lobby. Kuan hopes that the 3-year delay will be taken out of the legislation.

Okay, that is probably a better way to describe what I saw because from my vantage point Michelle did a straightline sequence and then continued but in a circular pattern. Regardless it was enjoyable
Okay, that is probably a better way to describe what I saw because from my vantage point Michelle did a straightline sequence and then continued but in a circular pattern. Regardless it was enjoyable
Thank you all for the great reports! Wow, our Kween seems to be very much determined...
We Believe!!!:YS
Well now that we have the most important question answered we can talk about the program! lol But no seriously, glad to hear the tights were back to normal lol!!! I think that was some weird Moscow anomoly.First of all, back to normal tights
So this Bolero thing is really interesting. I can't believe she's basically doing a competitive program in show lights. At Marshall's she's gonna be like, hey could ya turn the lights down? lol I really wonder if this is just for Marshall's prep, or if she will use Bolero for the whole tour. I'm not going till next weekend, so I wonder what program I will see!
Man, I'm so totally bummed that COI is coming no where near us. But at least people will be giving lots of reports and hopefully some photos. Also, that's cool that she's still using Bolero (rather it be for Marshalls or for the rest of the tour) cuz I've always dug that song!
Edited to add my thanks to those who have reported already!
hmmm so if she did 2 fw sequences back to back that means everything in the program, ie. jump sequence, had to be somewhat moved up? so instead of doing the spiral mk was doing more jumps?
im secretly wishing she will skate 4 triples max tom. cuz i'd really rather see her skate more moves than jumps for bolero . i think bolero is highly more successful without that many jumps in the program... but i mean if she's preparing for marshalls, that would be odd that she isn't preparing her spiral since it always draws cheers from the crowds...
if she does bolero for an entire summer, perhaps that is her way of just fully getting her kick out of the music so that perhaps she will look to completely new music next yr... just a thought
Wow -- thanks! I can't wait to see what she does tuesday in Tampa......
splits, i wonder what she'll do too. seems rather odd if she switched her program right after marshalls. after all she didn't switch her program last yr did she? or was marshalls before COI started? i can't remember. this is def. one of the most interesting developments for mk and coi imo . i'll be so jealous if mk takes out jumps for the rest of coi and fills up the program with more in betweens! :b and if she does do that i'll never get to see it cuz i doubt she'd do bolero for a televised exhibition... or would she... haha
YAY! I'm seeing COI next Sunday in NJ, so I 'm so excited to get to see Bolero LIVE. (though i am not too excited about that long-sleeved dress!)
I <heart> MK!
wow, it sounds like MK is skating well....its almost as if she is saying...haha...you all are counting me out...I wouldn't just yet.
Wait a minute... no tights reports? :rollin Could someone please tell me if they were hanging loose or tucked in? Thanks! lol
Tights were back to normal some one wrote earlier
:SP Where was that spiral?
Jarrett, she added body jewelry along the sides of the tights, and then she used felt pen to do swirlies around her knee region.
Oh, and lots of blinking lights. Don't know where the light switch to it was, but must have been hidden well somewhere.
I think it was tucked in, definitely tucked in.
Oh wait, I never went, so I don't know what I'm talking about ;P
Grace :|
Bolero!! Can I tell you how excited I am for tomorrow night!! I was secretly hoping for this - a very smart decision IMO, especially with Marshall's on Tuesday. And the tour is so short this year, just over a month. And 6-triples - awesome.
Do you think her new exibition program isn't choreographed yet, because she spent so much time changing Bolero from Nationals to Worlds? It seems rather strange that she'd want to skate a competetive long program every night for the length of the tour? (Talk about taxing on the body)
I dunno. She might have asked Collins if she could just practice it until Marshalls, and then take some time to work on an another exihibition piece that she'll debut in a couple weeks, or whenever it's done.
I'm curious? How did the crowd receive Bolero as an exibibition piece?
Did she skate with her hair down? Or up?
BTW that gold dress would look to die for in theater lighting! It's already something I could see Chita Rivera in! I say the nix the fancy practice dress and GO FOR THE GOLD!
Very nice to hear that she did 6 triples in a program again cleanly. Can't wait to see what happens at Marshalls. I think she'll end the competetive season strong, with a nice win.
Hmmm, I would be interested to see Michelle skate Bolero in an exhibition with the pressure off. Will have to wait and see if she keeps it or not for the rest of the COI. I rather see her skate to Bolero than another vocal one in COI. :TOS
Her hair was down for the show. I must say, I missed the tight detail from where I was sitting, lol. She looked very satisfied with the performance afterwards.
Hey guys,
For Easter my parents got me tickets to go with 1 other person to the show today in Boston! This will be my first time I can see the grace of Michelle on ice.. LIVE ... in PERSON! I can't wait, and I am sooooooooooooooooooo EXCITED to see B O L E R O!! I don't care what anyone else says. I will take extreme close looks at everything that she does, and have at least the best report of her, and maybe Sasha... and then pictures.. I'll have them up here tomorrow! I can't wait! Send good vibes to darling Michelle! <3
When does Sasha skate? Does it go Sasha, Irina, T&M, then Michelle?
From what I recall, the end of the show is Elvis, Sasha, Johnny, Irina, T&M, Michelle ...When does Sasha skate? Does it go Sasha, Irina, T&M, then Michelle?
Thank you all for the reviews.
It sounds like the show rocked and that Michelle's COI Bolero did as well. Six Triples. Wow!
Did she get a standing O? I hope so Thanks for all the reviews!! I'm excited to hear what happens at tonight's show!
About BOLERO.....
At the beginning of the season - Marshall's and Campbell's - many of us here, after hearing that MK was still tweaking Bolero, as she stated that it was still a work in progress, concluded that it will continue to evolve as she fits the program into COP friendly LP.
But even before that, a couple of regular posters (and myself) floated the idea that maybe MK wants to skate to Bolero for the Oly.
Now, wait a minute, don't kill me just yet.
It appears to me that Bolero is the least favorite LP (in the sense of Music choice) that MK has done, including Tosca (though the way she performed it was just classic), and Schez.
But the fact that MK really wanted perfect this program which includes skating it for COI means that she genuinely love the music. She had made many changes to it and somehow kept it. Remember "A Day In The Life" and "Miraculous Mandarin", she got rid of those programs even though they were already nicely choreographed, more so than Bolero of any versions.
This brings me back to the beginning of my suggestion: Could this suggest that this whole season is just a testing ground for MK so that next year she will have perfected Bolero?
The 6 triple jumps at the first stop of COI (couple with the 3 flip at the opening and another triple and 4 double axels in a row at the closing) suggest that she really wants to keep her jumps during this spring and summer.
And that again brings me back to my post here a couple of months ago: Now that she has got her jumps in line (including the lutz, salchow (per COI) and maybe 3 loop in 3-3 with the Salchow), could it be that she is planning on re-choreographing Bolero to fit COP for the OLY?
Maybe she is trying to keep all of her triples consistent thru the summer so she can really tackle everything even early in the fall next season. I think it's great that she's practicing a 6 triple long program with Marshalls coming up.
I too have wondered about this. After the poor showing with it this season, I thought maybe she would scrap it & start over for Olys. But given her statements that she has thought about using Bolero for a long time & finally felt ready for it, I can't help but wonder. ANY program that MK does next year is going to have to be a lot different from what she's done the past few years, Bolero or not. I don't think we've seen even a hint of what Dean had in mind for this program. All we can do is wait & see!..floated the idea that maybe MK wants to skate to Bolero for the Oly.

Hungary gave in to pressure today, and agreed to bus migrants to Austria. Two days ago, Hungary had blocked the migrants from travelling on trains to Austria, stranding thousands of them in Budapest. After hundreds of refugees began walking the 150 miles to Austria, Hungary agreed to buses. The buses will apparently pick up the migrants stranded at Budapest's main train station, as well as those that had already begun walking.
The decision comes as Europe still tries to figure out what to do with the biggest migrant crisis since the end of World War II.
It also comes on the same day the Hungarian parliament passed emergency anti-immigration laws to halt the surge of refugees crossing into the EU, reports the AFP.
The new laws call for a three-year jail term for anyone caught climbing the newly built razor wire fence on the border with Serbia, and new transit zones, where asylum-seekers must stay while their application is being processed.
While some countries are tightening their laws, Ireland announced today it would take in an additional 1,800 refugees, after accepting 600.
So far, Germany has accepted 35,000 refugees, Canada more than 10,000, Australia 5,600, and Switzerland 3,500, according to the BBC.

Everyone would probably agree that government sometimes frustrates us. Sometimes government even seems at odds with what we personally think ethical and right. But does the government have a place in God's plan and how we live? In Romans 13:1-7, Paul provides some insight as to how Christians should respond to government and authority.

Tony Norton, Senior Director, Global Automotive at Altair Engineering
As noted by my colleague Giuseppe Resta in the last automotive blog post, there was justified fanfare for the BMW "i" brand, yet elsewhere in Frankfurt you could see that steel was not going to go away fast. The production version of the Volkswagen up! was said to be 13 percent lighter than the vehicle it replaced (VW Fox). VW pointed to engine downsizing, high strength steel and component optimization as the keys enablers of this. High-strength and ultra-high-strength steels make up 56.5 percent of the vehicle's construction and achieve class-leading torsional rigidity. With facts like that, what are the compelling reasons to consider structural composites in the short term?

The fourth wave of feminism has arrived with a bang and a hashtag. The #MeToo movement has every woman engaged in the feminist debate, but not all are familiar with the roots of the women's movement. Without historical knowledge we are doomed to repeat it, so here are the finest feminist reads to get (re)acquainted with.
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft
Well before the suffragettes brought the first wave of feminism with them, Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) wrote what is considered the first great manifesto of women's rights, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Living an independent life as a governor, teacher and writer, Wollstonecraft argued passionately for women's education which in 1792 created quite the scandal.
The Second Sex, Simone de Beauvoir
French author and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir combined critical theory with personal observation to argue for female liberty. Prompting outrage in 1949, The Second Sex raised the consciousness of a generation of women, and now many more, as it sits as a formative work on the feminist shelf.
The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan
A phenomenon becoming fuel to the fire that was the second wave of feminism, Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique gave America's housewives an answer to "the problem that has no name". In 1963 when the average woman married in her teens, Friedan argued systemic sexism held women hostage in the home and refused to allow them to use their intellect. As she gave women permission to be unhappy, Friedan sold three million copies in the first three years.
The Female Eunuch, Germaine Greer
Bursting into a burgeoning yet relatively low-profile feminist movement in Australia, Germaine Greer's The Female Eunuch argued sexual liberation was the key to women's liberation in 1970. While challenging the country's patriarchy, Greer's provocative language transcended the Pacific to become a global phenomenon and find its foothold in the feminist history archives.
Women, Race & Class, Angela Davis
Author, scholar, and legendary political activist Angela Davis has penned several books but Women, Race & Class is one of her most revered reads. This powerful study of the women's liberation movement across the US – from abolitionist days to its publication in 1983 – demonstrates how the racist and sexist biases of political leaders have always hindered progression.
The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf
In 1990, at a time when women had more power, liberty and professional success than ever before, journalist and author Naomi Wolf forced women to rethink their relationship with beauty. Wolf argues modern women are trapped by The Beauty Myth – an obsession with unattainable beauty – which is as detrimental to the women's movement as the traditional housewife image.
Backlash, Susan Faludi
Susan Faludi's skillful examination of the attack on women's rights revealed women's movements always face an anti-feminist backlash – manifesting themselves in media coverage, political agendas or advertising campaigns. In 1990, Faludi proved fictitious narratives – such as the "infertility epidemic" and "man shortage" – often arise when women make leaps and bounds forward – and in Trump's America, her words feel especially relevant.

|Part of a series on the
Egyptian crisis
The Sinai insurgency is an ongoing conflict in the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, between Islamist militants and Egyptian security forces, which has included attacks on civilians.[33] The insurgency began after the start of the Egyptian Crisis, which saw the overthrow of longtime Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak in the Egyptian revolution of 2011.[34]
The Sinai insurgency initially consisted of militants, largely composed of local Bedouin tribesmen, who exploited the chaotic situation in Egypt and weakened central authority to launch a series of attacks on government forces in Sinai. In 2014, elements of the Ansar Bait al-Maqdis group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and proclaimed themselves Sinai Province, and a part of ISIL. Security officials say militants based in Libya have established ties with the Sinai Province group[35] and have blamed the porous border and ongoing civil war for the increase in sophisticated weapons available to the Islamist groups.[36]
The Egyptian authorities have attempted to restore their presence in the Sinai through both political and military measures.[37] Egypt launched two military operations, known as Operation Eagle in mid-2011 and then Operation Sinai in mid-2012. In May 2013, following an abduction of Egyptian officers, violence in the Sinai surged once again. Following the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état, which resulted in the ousting of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, "unprecedented clashes" have occurred.[38]
The fallout suffered by the locals as a result of the insurgency in Sinai ranges from militant operations and the state of insecurity to extensive military operations and the demolishing of hundreds of homes and evacuating thousands of residents as Egyptian troops pressed on to build a buffer zone meant to halt the smuggling of weapons and militants from and to the Gaza strip. A report, compiled by a delegation from the state-funded National Council for Human Rights (NCHR), stated that most of the displaced families share the same grievances of palpable government negligence, unavailability of nearby schools for their sons and the lack of health services.[39] Since the start of the conflict, dozens of civilians were killed either in military operations or kidnapped and then beheaded by militants. In November 2017, more than 300 Sufist worshippers were killed and over 100 injured in an attack on a mosque west of the city of Al-Arish.[33]
Sufism was previously dominant in the region before militant jihadi ideas began to take hold.[40] The Sinai peninsula has long been known for its lawlessness, having historically served as a smuggling route for weapons and supplies. Security provisions in the Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty of 1979 have institutionalized a diminished security presence in the area, enabling militants to operate with a freer hand. Moreover, the limited government-directed investment and development in Sinai has discriminated against the local Bedouin population, a population that values tribal allegiance over all else. The combination of Sinai's harsh terrain and lack of resources have kept the area poor and hence ripe for militancy.[41]
Following the January 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak's regime, the country became increasingly destabilized, creating a security vacuum in the Sinai peninsula. Radical Islamic elements in Sinai exploited the opportunity, using the unique environment, in launching several waves of attacks upon Egyptian military and commercial facilities.
According to The Economist, the conflict also involves local armed Bedouin "who have long-standing grievances against the central government in Cairo" and that "they are barred from joining the army or police; they find it hard to get jobs in tourism; and they complain that many of their lands have been taken from them".[9]
Since the 2011 uprising against the Mubarak regime in Egypt, there has been increasing instability in the Sinai Peninsula. In addition the collapse of the Libyan regime increased the quantity and sophistication of weapons being smuggled into the area.[37] The situation provided local Bedouin with an opportunity to assert their authority, leading to clashes with Egyptian security forces, but the cause of violence soon transitioned to salafi jihadism. Hard-line militant Muslims used Sinai as a launch-point for attacks against Israel and turned on the Egyptian state.,[37] focusing on Egypt's security establishment and the Sinai's Arab Gas Pipeline.[42]
In August 2011, Operation Eagle was launched, in an effort to restore law and order, driving Islamist insurgents and criminal gangs out of North Sinai's urban centers.[43] As well as, attempting to sever the link between militant groups in the Sinai and Gaza, by augmenting its control over the Gaza border crossing.[37]
The operation had limited success, and a week into the operation, salafi jihadists carried out the worst cross-border attack on Israel in the post-Mubarak period.
On 5 August 2012, an attack on the Rafah barracks shook the Egyptian military and population. Only a month into his term, President Mohamed Morsi sacked the longstanding defence minister and promoted General al Sisi to take his place. Operation Sinai was launched, aimed at eliminating armed Islamist groups, protecting the Suez Canal, and destroying the tunnel network connecting the Sinai with the Gaza Strip.[37][44] During the operation, 32 militants and suspects were killed and 38 arrested, while 2 civilians had been killed by early September 2012.[45]
Since the July 2013 coup, against President Mohamed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood leader, the Egyptian military and security services in particular have been targeted by Sinai-based violent Islamist groups. In an increase in violence security forces came under near daily attack throughout July to August 2013.
In 2013, the new authorities adopted a more aggressive strategy, leading to mass arrests and hard security measures.[37] Over the few months leading to 2014, the Egyptian army gained the upper hand in the battle against militias that have found safe haven in the peninsula. After isolating and largely clearing the populated northeastern Sinai, the army put many militant factions on the defensive, most notably Ansar Bait al-Maqdis. However, one thousand armed militiamen are still sheltering in the main stronghold in Jabal Halal, as well as Jabal Amer area.[46]
In November 2014, the situation in the Sinai was thrust into the spotlight with deadliest attack on the security forces since 2011, and the group responsible Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis pledging allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) forming the Sinai Province. In the wake of the attack on the security forces, the government declared state of emergency, imposing a curfew and establish a buffer zone in the Sinai's border area with Gaza.
On May 2013, a number of Egyptian Army police officers were taken hostage by armed tribesmen in the Sinai peninsula, with their videos released on the internet begging for their lives. As a response, Egypt's government had built up security forces in northern Sinai as part of an effort to secure the release of six policemen and a border guard kidnapped by suspected militants. On 20–21 May, Egyptian troops and police, backed by helicopter gunships, conducted a sweep through a number of villages in northern Sinai, along the border with Israel.[47] The officials said the forces came under fire from gunmen in vehicles, triggering the clashes. The clashes left one gunman dead by 21 May.[47] The hostages were released on 22 May after talks between the captors and Bedouins.[48] One suspect in the kidnapping was arrested on 30 May 2013.[48]
Since Mohamed Morsi's ouster on 3 July, there has been an increase in violence by armed Bedouin and Islamists.[9][38] Attacks on security forces have been witnessed almost daily since his ouster — leading many to link the militants there to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group from which Morsi hails.[49]
In response, Egypt launched a major military operation in Sinai, bringing in two additional battalions.[50]
In the two weeks following 3 July 39 terrorist attacks occurred in North Sinai. In the resulting clashes between armed groups and security forces, 52 gunmen and civilians and six security personnel died.[51] On 15 July, witnessed the highest civilian casualties, when a bus transporting workers to the army-operated Al-Arish Cement Company was attacked. Five were killed and 15 were wounded. On 16 July, attacks resulted in some of the most intense army engagement, concentrated at Al-Masa'id, Al-Joura, and the Central Security camp at Al-Ahrash.[51]
Security operations have been largely confined to the 40-kilometre area between Al-Arish and Sheikh Zuweid, extending northward toward Rafah along the border with Israel and up to the Karam Abu Salem crossing.[51] Fighting intensifies between the gunmen and the joint army-police forces at night.[51] The frequency of attacks has varied from two to five in a single day. In addition, targets have expanded from fixed security checkpoints to mobile patrols. In most operations, the gunmen use four-wheel drive vehicles and combinations of light and heavy weaponry. However, in three recent attacks RPG-7 launchers were used, most likely smuggled from Libya. The G-7 grenade is capable of penetrating armoured vehicles and is generally fired at the doors.[51]
On 27 July, operation dubbed "Desert Storm" was launched by the Egyptian army in North Sinai Governorate and will last for 48 hours. Two of Egypt's field armies, as well as the country's Air Force and Navy are reportedly taking part in this large-scale operation. The military are said to be blocking all the roads, bridges and tunnels leading from Northern Sinai to other provinces of Egypt.[52]
A bomb was placed at a hotel frequented by security officials on 2 August 2013, though it caused no injuries.[53] A security source told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al-Youm that a majority of "terrorists" had been arrested as of 3 August 2013.[54] 2 mausoleums were bombed on 4 August 2013, though no injuries resulted.[55]
Twenty-five Egyptian policemen died in an attack in the northern region of Sinai, on 18 August. After militants forced two mini-buses carrying off-duty policemen to stop, ordered the policemen out and forced them to lie on the ground before shooting them.[56] The Egyptian military arrested eleven people, including five Hamas members, three local residents and three foreign nationals, for their alleged involvement in the killings.[57] The person who committed the murders confessed on 1 September 2013.[58]
Military spokesperson Ahmed Ali said that Egyptian security forces recent operations in Sinai, from 5 July to 23 August, resulted in: 78 suspected militants killed, including 32 foreigners; 116 people injured; and 203 people arrested, including 48 foreigners, for their alleged involvement in attacks on security checkpoints in the peninsula. Additionally 343 tunnels on the border between Egypt and Gaza at Rafah have been destroyed.[59][60]
On 3 September, fifteen Islamist militants were killed in an attack by military helicopters.[61]
On 7 September, the Egyptian army launched a new operation in the region. The operation involved tanks and at least six Apache helicopters. The army have been jamming communications to thwart militant coordination.[62] The army combed through areas near the Gaza Strip, including locations used by militants suspect in the killing and abduction of Egyptian soldiers over the past year. In the three days of operations, since 7 September, one officer, two soldiers and 29 militants were killed, and 39 militants were arrested.[63][64]
On 11 September, suicide bomber targeted Egyptian military intelligence headquarters in Rafah, bringing down the structure, at the same time a car bomb had rammed an army checkpoint. In the simultaneous attack at least nine soldiers were killed.[63]
On 24 December 16 were killed and over 134 injured in a huge bomb which hit the Daqahliya Security Directorate in Mansoura, in the worst attack on a government site since the ouster of Morsi in July. Ansar Bait al-Maqdis, a Sinai-based group, claimed responsibility for the attack. The group deemed Egyptian troops infidels because they answer to a "secular government", warning them to desert or face death.[65][66]
On 26 January, militants shot down an army Mi-17 helicopter in North Sinai, killing all five of its crew members. The weapon the insurgents used was an infrared-homing, surface-to-air missile from the Russian-made Igla family. This was the first time in Egyptian history that an armed nonstate actor dropped a state's military helicopter by a missile.[67] Ansar Bait al-Maqdis claimed responsibility for this attack as well as series of escalating attacks on police and soldiers.[68] Earlier that morning masked men in an SUV attacked a bus carrying soldiers in Sinai, killing at least three and injuring at least 11.[68]
On 3 February, in what was described as the biggest operation in the Egyptian army's ongoing offensive against militants in the Sinai, 30 suspected militants were killed and another 15 injured in a series of airstrikes and another 16 were arrested.[69]
On 16 February 2014, a bomb exploded on or under a tour bus of a South Korean church group in the Egyptian city of Taba, which borders the Gulf of Aqaba and Eilat, Israel. The bombing killed 4 people – 3 South Koreans and the Egyptian bus driver – and injured 17 others.[70] According to The New York Times, the bombing could "offer worrying new evidence that militants who have been attacking Egypt's security forces for months were broadening their campaign against civilians."[71]
On 24 October 2014, 31 army and police soldiers were killed in two separate attacks in North Sinai. The attack was the largest ever since the start of the war on terror in Sinai. As a result of the attack, president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi declared a state of emergency in the governorate after meeting with the National Defence Council for several hours. The state of emergency was to last for three months and to include a daily curfew from 5 pm to 7 am until further notice.[72]
On 10 November 2014, Ansar Bait al-Maqdis pledged allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) forming the Sinai Province group with a confusingly similar name to two Egyptian regional governments.[73]
On 14 November 2014, ISIL published a video online that included footage of the group carrying out the October 2014 Sinai attacks.[74]
During 2015, the intensity and the scale of insurgent attacks expanded.
On 12 January 2015, Sinai Province kidnapped a police officer while traveling in North Sinai and took him to an unknown location. On the following day on 13 January 2015, Egyptian military spokesperson announced the discovery of the dead body of the officer after launching a search operation. He also said that during the operation 10 militants were killed, while two others were arrested.[75]
On 26 January 2015, Sinai Province published a video online that included the kidnapping and execution of the police officer kidnapped on 12 January.[76]
On 29 January 2015, militants from the Sinai Province militant group launched a series of attacks on army and police bases in Arish using car bombs and mortars.[77] The attacks, which occurred in more than six different locations, resulted in 32 confirmed deaths including army personnel and civilians.[78]
It was reported that on 6 February 2015 Egyptian security forces attacked the Sinai Province group, killing 47 Islamic militants in Northern Sinai.[79]
On 10 March 2015, a suicide attack on a police barracks using a water tanker was stopped after security forces opened fire on the water tanker causing it to explode before it could get into the barracks. One civilian near the scene was killed and two others wounded in the blast, alongside dozens of wounded policemen.[80]
On 2 April 2015, an attack on an army checkpoint resulted in the death of 15 soldiers, 2 civilians and 15 attackers. As a response to the attack, the Egyptian army launched an operation the following day allegedly killing 100 militants.[81][82][83]
On 8 April 2015, eleven civilians were killed in Sheikh Zuweid when an unidentified rocket-propelled grenade hit their homes.[84]
On 12 April 2015, 6 soldiers were killed when their armoured vehicle was bombed in North Sinai. On the same day, a separate attack on a police station in Arish resulted in the death of 5 policemen and 1 civilian. The attack on the station was carried out by a suicide bomber using a bomb-laden vehicle. Militant group Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis has claimed responsibility for the attacks.[85]
On 27 April 2015, members from Al-Tarabin tribe in North Sinai launched an attack on Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis positions in Rafah.[1] The attack came after Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis gunmen fatally shot a member of Al-Tarabin tribe in Berth village in southern Rafah, North Sinai, after he refused to take their warning statements ordering them not to deal with the Egyptian military.[86]
On 16 May 2015, three Egyptian judges and their driver were killed when gunmen opened fire on their vehicle in North Sinai. The attack came hours after a Cairo court issued a preliminary death sentence against former president Mohamed Morsi and 105 other defendants on a range of charges, including murder.[87]
On 9 June 2015, militants fired rockets at the direction of an airport in Sinai used by the multinational peacekeeping forces.[88]
On 1 July 2015, Sinai Province militants launched one of the largest attacks ever, since the insurgency begun in 2011, on multiple Egyptian army checkpoints in the Sinai Peninsula, killing 21 soldiers. The attack also targeted Sheikh Zuweid police station. Reinforcements from the Second Army Zone stationed in Ismailia have been deployed to Sheikh Zuweid, and F-16 fighter jets were spotted targeting militants in the city. Militants have reportedly killed several civilians who refused to allow them onto their rooftops to target security forces.[89] An army statement claimed the killing of more than 100 militants from the attacking force. The militant death toll increased in the following days, due to Egyptian military operations in the region, reaching 241 killed.
On 4 July 2015, a shell bomb struck a house in Sheikh Zuweid, killing a woman and her two children. On the same day, a roadside bomb targeting army and police vehicles killed a five-year-old child in Rafah.[90]

The Egyptian military confirmed the incident and said in a statement that there are no fatalities among the vessel's crew. The attack is considered the first maritime attack of the Islamic State and its allied militant groups.[92]
On 23 July 2015, an officer and three soldiers were killed and three others were wounded when an improvised roadside bomb hit their armoured vehicle in a village near the town of Rafah.[93]

On 3 September 2015, four American and two Fijian Multinational Force and Observers troops were wounded in an attack involving two IEDs.[96][97]
On 8 September 2015, the Egyptian military launched a major operation code-named "The Martyr's Right". The operation is the largest and most comprehensive operation aimed at rooting out and killing terrorists since July's immediate response to militant attacks. The operation targeted sites in Rafah, Arish, and Sheikh Zuweid, all towns in the northern areas of the peninsula.[98] 535 militants were killed in September 2015.[99]
On 13 September 2015, a Fijian soldier attached to the Multinational Force and Observers was wounded by small arms fire.[100]
On 31 October 2015, a Russian passenger jet disintegrated above the northern Sinai, killing all 224 aboard.[101] The Islamic State's Sinai Province claimed responsibility for the incident. Russian, Egyptian, and western investigators concluded that the plane was brought down by a bomb.[102]
On 8 December, a bomb in Rafah killed four soldiers and injured four others.[103]
Insurgent attacks increased in early 2016, nearly doubling between the last quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016.[104] However, according to The Times of Israel, the numbers of attacks and casualties was declining by August 2016.[105]
On 19 March, an attack on a checkpoint in Arish killed 13 policemen.[106]
Another attack on 7 April killed 15 soldiers and two civilians.[107][108]
In May, Egyptian security forces launched an air attack on Jabal Halal, a region with an extensive cave system that was a major insurgent stronghold. According to the Egyptian military, 88 militants were killed and many supply caches were destroyed.[105]
On 28 June, A series of air strikes killed 30 ISIS fighters and injured 50 others.[109]
Then, on 4 August, the army claimed to have killed the leader of Sinai Province, Abu Duaa al-Ansari.[110] Independent sources were unable to verify this claim, or even the existence of al-Ansari.[110][111] Previous reports had described Abu Osama al-Masri as the leader.[111]
The army reported another 40 militants killed by airstrikes in September.[112]
On 14 October a total 12 soldiers and 15 militants were killed.[113] On 17 October several clashes in North Sinai left 3 soldiers and 18 insurgents dead.[114] On 30 October a military operation in North Sinai left 4 soldiers and 6 insurgents dead.[115]
On 5 November Egyptian soldiers killed at least 11 terrorist.[116] On 10 November army soldiers killed at least 6 insurgents.[117]
On 9 January 2017, an attack by several gunmen and a truck bomb on a police checkpoint in El-Arish causing at least 13 deaths and 22 injuries, according to official sources.[118] One of the attackers, drove a stolen rubbish truck loaded with explosive at the security checkpoint, as gunmen opened fire on police forces.[118]
On February 2017, ISIS produced a video calling for attacks against Christians.[119][120][121][122] On April ISIS attacked several churches in Egypt Known as Palm Sunday church bombings. The attacks killed over 40 people.[123]
In July, a militant raid on an army checkpoint resulted in the deaths of at least 23 soldiers. The checkpoint was looted for weapons and ammunition before the attackers fled the scene.[124] Later that month an attack targeting police killed 5 officers and wounded 11 in the city of el-Arish. A later roadside bomb south of the city wounded a further 6 officers. The attacks came the same day officials claimed the Egyptian Air Force had killed at least 30 militants in strikes on a gathering.[125]
In September officers were again attacked in el-Arish, with 18 killed and 7 wounded in an assault involving roadside bombs and small arms fire.[126]
On November 24, 2017, the Sufi al-Rawda mosque in the town of Bir al-Abed, North Sinai Governorate, Egypt was attacked by around forty gunmen during Friday prayers. The gun and bomb attack killed at least 235 people and injured more than 120, making it the deadliest terrorist attack in Egyptian history and the second deadliest attack in 2017, after the 14 October 2017 Mogadishu bombings.[127] Other reports of the attack assert that over 300 deaths occurred.[128]
On December 19, 2017 El Arish International Airport was attacked in an attempt to assassinate the Minister of Interior Magdi Abdel-Ghaffar and the minister of defense Sedki Sobhy. The assassination attempt failed and one officer was killed and two were injured.[129] ISIS used kornet anti-tank missile in the attack.[130] Next day a new clash started near the airport where 5 ISIS militants were killed and an army captain was killed.[131]
According to Reuters, as of 2013, Ansar Bait al-Maqdis was in control of about a third of the villages in Sinai.[132] Now, daily clashes with militants in North Sinai are reported by the army.[133] The insurgency has not spread to south Sinai, where there are tourist hubs. In the northeastern part of the peninsula, checkpoints have often been established by militants as the army lack the power to stop them. The militants have captured and assassinated policemen there.[134]
On 24 December 2013, sixteen people were killed and over a hundred people injured in a huge bomb which hit the Daqahliya Security Directorate in Mansoura. Ansar Bait al-Maqdis claimed responsibility for the attack.[65]
On 5 August 2014, 5 policemen were killed in an attack on a police car on Matrouh road by armed militants.[135]
On 28 November 2014, the militant group Sinai Province claimed responsibility for the killing of 2 army personnel in Cairo and Qaliubiya.[136][137]
On 1 December 2014, Sinai Province claimed responsibility for killing a United States citizen in Egypt's western desert in August 2014.[138]
On 21 December 2014, the Egyptian police raided an Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis cell in the Nile Delta killing 5 members.[139]
On 26 December 2014, two Ansar Bait al-Maqdis militants were killed in a gunfight in El-Salam City, on the eastern outskirts of Cairo.[140] The Ministry of Interior later identified one of the dead militants as the commander of Ansar Beit El-Maqdis in the Nile Delta.
On 11 July 2015, a car-bomb exploded near the Italian consulate in Cairo, killing one person and injuring nine others. None of the Italian staff of the consulate were injured as the establishment was still closed at the time of the explosion. Later, the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack.[141]
Out of the approximately 15 main militant groups operating in the Sinai desert, the most dominant and active militant groups have close relations with the Gaza Strip.[142] The Army of Islam, a U.S. designated terrorist organization based in the Gaza Strip, is responsible for training and supplying many militant organizations and jihadist members in Sinai.[142] Mohammed Dormosh, the Army of Islam's leader, is known for his close relationships to the Hamas leadership.[142] The Army of Islam smuggles members into the Gaza Strip for training, then returns them to the Sinai Peninsula to engage in terrorist and jihadist activities.[143]
The disposition of Egyptian forces in Sinai peninsula mandated by the Camp David Accords and monitored by the 1,600 foreign troops that make up the Multinational Force and Observers. Egypt is permitted only enough Military forces in Sinai to enforce security.[144]
In 2011, Egypt sent additional 2,500 troops and 250 armored personnel, with helicopters as part of Operation Eagle, a mission to provide security during the power transition from then-recently fallen Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.[145] Operation Eagle was joined by Operation Sinai in 2012, which came in response to a militant attack against an Egyptian border post 5 August that killed 16 border guards. Together, the two operations increased the total troop count by more than 2,500 added 80 vehicles and at least two attack helicopters. Egypt also was allowed to deploy armed fighter jets to El Arish to assist its ground forces in Sinai.[145][146]
Egypt's expanded force structure in Sinai is designed to deny militants sanctuary by bringing more force to bear than the municipal police alone can provide. Many of the new forces are stationed in the northeast of Sinai along the Egyptian border with Gaza. Setting up roadblocks and checkpoints to monitor and inspect traffic transiting the Sinai Peninsula to counter this smuggling.[145]
In the October 2014 attacks, for the first time the militants in Sinai used suicide truck bombs to breach army roadblocks and strongpoints, then followed them with an infantry attack.
After the October attacks, the Egyptian military began using armed drones for the first time since the Sinai insurgency began.[147] And as a measure to counter weapon and militant trafficking between Egypt and Gaza strip, the Egyptian government announced the creation of a buffer zone along the Egypt-Gaza border.[148]
Following the attacks on army and police bases in Arish in early 2015, the Egyptian President issued a decree to create a unified military command for the east of the Suez Canal to combat terrorism. Led by General Osama Roshdy Askar, it will guide counter-terrorism activities of the Second and Third army.[149]
On 27 April 2015, Egypt's Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab issued a decree ordering the isolation and evacuation of new areas in North Sinai's Rafah city, thus expanding the buffer zone.[150]
A shift in the militants strategy appeared in the July 2015 clashes. Zack Gold, Middle East analyst, views the battle as a change in strategy from hit and run tactics toward an ISIL-like 'holding' of territory.[151]
As an effort to limit car-bombs attacks, Egypt's Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab issued a decree banning 4X4 vehicles in army-operations zones in Sinai.[152]
The Egyptian government has used the death penalty to punish those convicted of committing terrorist acts in Sinai. On 26 December 2017, Egypt hanged 15 men convicted of killing nine soldiers during an attack on a military checkpoint in 2013.[153]
In the two years since 2011, Israel has approved two Egyptian military increases in the Sinai Peninsula above levels set in the Camp David Accords, which mandates that the Sinai must remain demilitarized, with only enough forces in Sinai to enforce security.[145][146][154] Israel did so because it is not in its interest to have unrest in Sinai, whether political protests or militant violence.[145]
However, in late 2012, concern began to be raised as Egypt began deploying more force and tanks without coordination from Israel. On 21 August, Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said that it is important for Israel to make sure that the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty is upheld, and not to remain silent as Egyptian military forces enter the Sinai. Concern was raised by Israeli officials over Egyptian failure to notify Israel about the deployment of tanks in the Sinai, which violates the peace treaty. Lieberman said, "We must make sure that every detail is upheld, otherwise we'll find ourselves in a slippery slope as far as the peace treaty is concerned."[155]
On the same day, Israeli daily Maariv reported that Israel sent a message to Egypt via the White House, protesting Egypt's ongoing increase in military presence in the Sinai without coordination from Israel, and telling Egypt that it must remove tanks from the Sinai because their presence violates the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty of 1979, which states that Sinai Peninsula is to remain demilitarized. The Israeli daily Maariv reported was reinforced by an article in The New York Times, which stated that Israel was "troubled" by the entry of Egyptian tanks into the northern Sinai Peninsula without coordination with Israel and had asked Egypt to withdraw them.[156] Partly due to Egypt's military deploying tanks in the Sinai Peninsula, Israel is increasingly worried about what has long been their most critical regional relationship.[157] The lack of coordination around their deployment is seen as potentially undermining a peace treaty that has been a cornerstone of Israel's security for decades according to the New York Times.[157] Israel is also concerned that Egypt may use Operation Eagle to build up its military presence in the Sinai, and leave the tanks and armored carriers in the Sinai while not doing much more than symbolic action to eliminate the terrorist threat.[158]
Israel has not issued a formal complaint, and instead prefers to resolve the issue through quiet contacts, as well as mediation from the U.S., to avoid straining its relationship with Egypt.[159]
On 24 August 2012, a senior Egyptian military source said that Egyptian Defense Minister Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak have reached an agreement on the issue of the militarization of the Sinai. Al Hayat reported that Sissi phoned Barak and said that Egypt was committed to maintaining the peace treaty with Israel.[160] Sissi also said that the militarization was temporary, and was needed for security and to fight terrorism. However, an Israeli defense official denied that such a conversation took place.[161]
In late August 2012, Morsi said that the security operations do not threaten anyone, and "there should not be any kind of international or regional concerns at all from the presence of Egyptian security forces". Morsi added that the campaign was in "full respect to international treaties. The Egyptian-Israeli peace deal places limits on Egyptian military deployment in the Sinai. Officials in Israel were concerned about Egypt building up heavy armour in Sinai.[162]
On 8 September 2012, an Israeli official confirmed that coordination exists between Israel and Egypt regarding Operation Eagle. Egyptian Military spokesman Ahmed Mohammed Ali had earlier announced that Egypt has been consulting with Israel regarding its security measures in the Sinai.[163]
On 2 July 2015, one day after the attacks on 15[164] Egyptian Army checkpoints, Israel announced that it was giving Egypt a "free hand to operate in northern Sinai against local jihadist groups, voluntarily ignoring an annex to the 1979 Camp David Peace Accords banning the presence of significant Egyptian forces in the area."[165][166]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent condolences to Egypt for the terrorist attacks that rocked that country on 1 July. He further stated that "we are together with Egypt and many other states in the Middle East and the world in the struggle against extreme Islamic terrorism."[167]
According to CNN, in a move to increase security in the Sinai, help Morsi, and reassure Israel, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta offered Egypt classified intelligence-sharing capabilities to help Egypt identify military threats in the area, which he discussed during his recent trips to Egypt and Israel. The technology has been widely used in Iraq and Afghanistan to identify vehicles at great distances. The technology may also be used by the Multinational Force and Observers in Sinai. The United States is also offering increased intelligence sharing, including satellite imagery and drone flights, as well as cellphone intercepts and other communications among militants suspected of plotting attacks.[168]
On 22 August 2012, the State Department urged Egypt to be transparent over Operation Eagle and any security operations in the Sinai. The State Department said that the United States supports Operation Eagle against terrorism, but stressed that Egypt must continue coordination with Israel regarding these operations and military increases in the Sinai, according to the 1979 Camp David Accords.[169] The State Department also called on Egypt to fulfill its obligations under the 1979 Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty and deal strongly with security threats in the Sinai, while ensuring that "lines of communication stay open."[170]
On 23 August 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, speaking with Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr, urged Amr to maintain lines of communication with Israel, and emphasized the importance of being transparent over the militarization of the Sinai.[159]
The Multinational Force and Observers in Sinai, a 1,650-strong international organization created in 1979 during the Camp David Accords with peacekeeping responsibilities, kept a low profile during the intensification of Operation Eagle in 2012. A representative for the organization said that "we are unable to respond to queries from the media at this time" in response to whether Egypt asked permission to move weaponry into the Sinai, and whether Israel granted it.[171]
The Egyptian pipeline carrying natural gas to Jordan has been attacked at least 15 times since the start of the uprising in early 2011.[172] The lack of Egyptian gas hit Jordan budget severely (by JD 1.4 billion or the equivalent of USD 2 billion yearly for the past two years) and they are looking for Egypt to compensate for the lost quantities.[173]
A Mada Masr journalist questioned the accuracy of Interior Ministry reports on at least two accusations.[174] CBS journalist Clarissa Ward went undercover into the Sinai and witnessed evidence of a scorched earth policy.[175]
The insurgency in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula was growing fiercer. At least two thousand soldiers and police had been killed in the preceding two year [up to the Summer of 2015].

I am a palm-reader, and I can read people's fortunes in their palm.
I get to see a lot of hands. To touch them, gently, and examine them, closely. Sunday by Sunday, people come forward and hold out their hands in front of me. Some are regulars, some here for the first time; but these are my people, the people God has asked me to care for, asked me to feed. This in itself is a holy mystery: they are not mine in a possessive sense, but the One who is their Lord and mine has called me to partner with him in feeding them: we do it, together. As I press a communion wafer onto their palm, making the intangible tangible, I am deeply moved by the privilege.
I am a palm-reader, and I can read people's fortunes in their palm.
I get to see a lot of hands. To touch them, gently, and examine them, closely, and as I do, I read their fortunes. Not 'their fortunes' in the sense of foretelling their future, but in the sense of seeing into their lives.
I notice the rings, that speak of covenant relationships: the wedding band on the widow's hand; the ring she inherited from her mother; the ring his father gave him; a few bands worn so thin that they are more held-together by the integrity of love than by the integrity of gold.
I notice the fingers gnarled by age, overlapping its neighbour, or thrown out crooked by injury or arthritis: this, too, tells me something about their fortunes, not in a predictive sense but in a holy moment where animated clay recognises bones of its own bone, recognises our oneness and is glad. Their fortunes and mine are intertwined, and the richer for it.
Then there are the hands held down, clasped together, hands indicating that the person has come forward not to receive bread and wine but a blessing. These hands are mostly Iranian. Every few months, we baptise another twelve or so disciples; and only after baptism do they take bread and wine. This is a precious thing approached with reverence, many weeks of study and preparation. For our Iranians, sharing in the Eucharist – Holy Communion – is so precious in part because it transcends language, unites English- and Farsi-speakers. And as they approach baptism, they come forward week by week for a blessing.
I bless them: 'the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.' Whether the words are fully understood or not, what they evoke comes to be known, the weight of glory settling on their lives. I bless all-comers, Christian, Muslim, each made in the image of God, each made to experience God's blessing.
I wish that those who have never met our Iranians, who have to pass judgement on their asylum tribunals, deciding whether their faith is living or not, would come and stand alongside them week by week over the course of, say, a month. I wish they would look not only into their scared eyes, but on their hands.
And in hands held out to receive Jesus – the Body of Christ that is the Church touching Christ's body that is the bread – and the hands waiting with anticipation to receive Jesus, I can read that their greatest fortune is laid-up not on earth, subject to corrosion and decay and theft, but in heaven.
I am a palm-reader, and I can read people's fortunes in their palm.

Reporter recalls rare trip to Pol Pot's Cambodia
AFP, February 22, 2012
When the Khmer Rouge invited a pair of American journalists to Cambodia in the late 1970s for a rare glimpse of the revolution, they found empty streets and schools in a city with no laughter.
"There was nobody there. It was like walking into the Twilight Zone," recalled one-time Washington Post correspondent Elizabeth Becker. Read Full Story
