The Egyptian army said on Wednesday that its forces have killed 88 militants in central and North Sinai during recent military operations.

As a continuation of an earlier campaign which started in September 2015, the army announced that it will begin the third phase of the operation entitled Martyr's Right.

Martyr's Right is a comprehensive military operation targeting Islamist militants in North Sinai.

This operation was discussed on John Batchelor tonight. It seems that soon, in the next couple of days, there will be a coordinated attack by Egypt and Israel on the ISIL elements in the northern Sinai. Apparently Hamas and ISIL have said they would increase attacks on both countries if this military sweep occurs.

Don't forget, Ramadan starts in about a week and a half.

88 muslim KIAs? Or 88 lined up against walls and shot?

Either’s ok with me but still curious.

The Egyptian army is completely out of patience with these devils and will behave accordingly.

Egypt killing a few Muslim terrorists is wonderful — but will only anger Obama — who is still trying to overthrow the Egyptian government ( again) anyway to re- install his Muslim brotherhood terrorist gangster pals into power there again.

The insane Muslims are even more insane during Ramadan.

News regarding this ongoing war within Egypt and on Israel's southern border barely makes the news but an Israeli soldier shooting dead, a stabbing terrorist after he tried to kill Jews makes headline news.

The Egyptians are killing hundreds.
The Syrians are killing hundreds of thousands and using chemical warfare.
The Iraqis are killing thousands.
The Libyans are killing hundreds.
The Sudanese are killing hundreds.
The Yemenites are killing thousands.
The Saudis are killing thousands.
The Russia are killing thousands.
The Iranians/Hizbollah are killing thousands.
ISIS is killing thousands and using chemical warfare.
Al-Qaeida is killing thousands and using chemical warfare.
HAMAS in Gaza is trying to kill hundreds of Israelis.

Oh, and by the way Ban Ki Moon in the UN always condemns Israel for building a house on the West Bank...or for shooting a terrorist dead. End of the absurdities.

Militants, eh? Stupid term -- but it sounds like 88 of the terrorists are a whole lot less militant now.

Terrorist is over used and incorrect. The 88 dead are warriors, jihadist fighters. There is a world war in progress where the Jihadist warriors have declared war on everybody else.

The tactic described as terror is asymmetric warfare conducted on a can do basis. The warriors do what they can do.

The Egyptian action sets the example forth the world. Kill them.

This is the simple truth, and it needs to be SHOUTED.
