The source of the strike was not immediately clear. Some sources spoke of an Israeli air strike conducted from Israeli air space and others credited the Egyptian military.
Witnesses said at least five members of a cell led by local Islamist militants were killed in the raid.

Apparent from the pregnant denials that it was all Egypt’s baby. OK. Good. One more point in favor of the coup.
Thanks Eleutheria5.
