Militants blow up Israel-Egypt gas pipeline
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for an attack against a pipeline in North Sinai that carries gas from Israel to Egypt.
A huge blast rocked the gas pipeline between Egypt and Israel on the morning of Feb. 2 in the Sinai Peninsula, alarming residents there and causing a massive fire at the explosion location. The pipeline was completely out of order and an alternative pipeline is currently being used until the damage is fixed.
The Islamic State claimed in a statement that it had planted bombs in various locations along the pipeline.
