ISIS Imitators in Sinai
Lesson Brief
Globes
On August 20, Globes reported on the possibility of an ISIS presence in the Sinai. Four men were kidnapped by a local terrorist group in the Sinai on suspicion that they were passing information to the Egyptian military and police. They were found beheaded, a method used by ISIS, and are thought to be imitating the group. This extremist group is also responsible for different attacks against Israel, specifically an attack on a major road in Israel in August 2011.
