When you think the Middle East is a Game of Thrones on steroids one sees this. Hamas is a proxy of Iran although relation were strained during the so-called Arab Spring. Iran and ISIS are enemies in the Syria/Iraq theater but somehow the two groups find a common enemy in Israel and Egypt.

Hamas is the Palestinian Arab offshoot of the violent Islamic terrorist Muslim Brotherhood.

As are Al Qaeda, ISIS and the rest of the MB spawn.

As of right now, Egypt is fighting a losing battle in the Sinai having no sway over the local Bedouin tribes), so the jihadis are building up forces and weapons to push the battle into Egypt proper, where they stand a better than even chance of routing the Egyptian Army which is tied up in two fronts (Libya). Once Egypt falls, the jihadis will once again control all of North Africa - the base which they used to conquer Europe once before. History repeats, this time with nuclear weapons ...

I don’t understand that if they’re transiting the Sinai, we don’t blow the hell out of them.

Ah, you’ve been reading the manual ISIS uses with it’s new recruits
Untie Egypts hands and give them some real time support and anti- terrorist weapons
If we don’t , Putin will
Or maybe we both will

Although the Egyptian army has had some trouble with ISIS in the Sinai, overall they’ve been winners. The problem will be if these jihadis start attacking the cities where the Muslim Brotherhood is still strong.
