Exploded pipeline delivering gas from Israel to Egypt

In the northern part of the Sinai Peninsula, sabotage occurred. A branch of the gas pipeline was blown up, through which Israeli fuel enters Egypt.

This was reported by the Qatari television channel Al-Jazeera.

Channel sources claim that the sabotage act took place in the area of ​​the Egyptian city of Bir al-Abd, which belongs to the North Sinai governorate.

Although none of the terrorist organizations claimed responsibility for the bombing, suspicions fall on representatives of local Bedouin clans. The fact is that such sabotage is far from uncommon; it has happened periodically for about ten years and is taking place against the background of local Bedouin dissatisfaction with the lack of income from gas transit through their territory. Radical Islamists may be involved in the explosion.

Sources in the Egyptian security service told the Chinese Xinhua News Agency that the facility was attacked by a group of armed people of at least six people whose faces were masked. They committed sabotage.

A thick cloud of smoke was observed above the scene of the accident. Xinhua claims that authorities shut off the gas supply and put out the fire.

The head of the Israeli Ministry of Energy, Yuval Steinitz, said that he did not know anything about the explosion, and information about the sabotage was checked by employees of his department and other organizations.

I don’t know if it’s fake, or is it true that the Palestinians nearly bombed a research center in Dimon that was attacked by air. https://free-news.su/proisshestviya/42665-xamas-atakoval-yadernyj-centr-v-izraile

And why not consider the Jews themselves as terrorists?
Of course, in the media of the Israeli media criticism of the deal on the supply of Israeli gas to Egypt is not allowed, but opponents of this deal exist there.
For example, at the beginning of 2018, a large gas field was found in Egypt. Then there was a rumor that Egypt would refuse to supply Israeli gas. If archives on the Internet about these rumors are raised (mid-summer 2018), then there are comments from Israel that welcomed this refusal.

There are many who wish without them.

It could be anyone, including the Palestinians, in response to the deal of the century proposed by Trump.

Perhaps this is a response to the undermining of the Syrian submarine pipeline.

[Graz]

is it either Turks or Iranians, I am more inclined towards the Turks, they are with Egypt in Libya on different sides of the conflict

[voyaka uh]

There are no Palestinians in the Sinai. Egypt blocks Gaza much harder than Israel. Bedouins associated with ISIS are hooligans in Sinai. Two Bedouin tribes (hereditary smugglers) swore allegiance to ISIS in 2015, when their people died in skirmishes with the Egyptian army. Now these are paying other Bedouins for various sabotage.

[bobba94]

Someday the patience of the Egyptian military will end. In fact .... the population of Egypt is just over 100 million people, the population of the North Sinai governorate and the South Sinai governorate does not reach 500 thousand people. They will send there for the re-education of thousands of 300 small criminals and set them conditions for parole, they will quickly teach these Bedouins to love their homeland.

[voyaka uh]

Sinai by agreement at Camp David between Egypt and Israel
- demilitarized zone.
When the Bedouins joined ISIS, Israel agreed to enter there
Egyptian regular army, including tanks. Before that, formally
there were only border guards guarding Hamas in Gaza (in fact -
infantry).

[Aaron Zawi]

Dont be upset. Damage former minor. Everything is already working and Egypt is getting gas.

[Roman1970_1]

Yes, it seems like more gloating than upsetting

[cost]

Where are the Palestinians from? Yes, most likely Bedouins. It seems their territory. Those for money will do anything And blow up, and dance and dance I wonder how they have not yet dismantled this pipeline and don’t pass it to the ferrous metal But who paid them, an interesting question

A mess, he is a mess in Africa.

[cat Rusich]

Geographically, the Sinai Peninsula is located in Asia. Africa begins on the west bank of the Suez Canal.

[rocket757]

Do you think the mess in Asia is different from the mess in Africa? One FIG.

[rotmistr60]

such sabotage is far from rare

In the modern world, unfortunately, sabotage and terrorist attacks are becoming commonplace. And yet the "deal of the century" is probably also starting to play its role. Trump has that not a deal, then a lot of noise, and at the exit it is practically 0, but this time he threw a lot of firewood into the Middle East fire.

[bouncyhunter]

Observing the effects of disasters ...

[major147]

Blown pipeline

Oh!!!!!

[Loess]

Although none of the terrorist organizations took responsibility

This means that Assad will be bombed as a response.

[Pessimist22]

Clearly, Egyptian Ukraine, little money.

Well, with "TP" it is unlikely, comrade Erdogan knows how to count money and will not allow reputational costs. But for the termination of the transit-coming out is a good reason, if this happened there after the launch of the SP-2.

[Lamata]

Lack of transit revenue !! What kind of terrorism is this, pure economics, glorious, proud Bedouins, do not want to proudly roam and feed on the ground, give them transit income.

[Arlen]

Quote: Lamata

Lack of transit revenue !! What terrorism is this, pure water economy

This is an economic diversion, the same kind of terrorism.

[Lamata]

In general, I agree that such economic terrorism

[Chaldon48]

It is not clear to me how nomad biduins can generally receive money for the transit of gas through the territory of their nomads.

[Charik]

As Ukraine takes for a trance from Russia

[Thrifty]

The Bedouins were angry that they did not take them to share, and well, ride around the gas pipeline! And then they decided to burn tires on it! And take the trumpet, and boobs! !!

[syndicalist]

authorities shut off the gas supply and put out the fire.

I wonder how the authorities put out the burning gas?

[Orakul2000]

How how? By the word and will of Allah !!!

[ibn.shamai]

Well, thank God that they did not blame Russia! Or is it not evening yet ???

[Vitaly gusin]

Relax!
Watch the Turks is much more relevant to you.
Gas injection into Egypt continues: there was no explosion
Israeli officials have denied reports from Arab media that unidentified militants attacked and damaged a pipeline in northern Sinai through which Israeli natural gas is delivered to Egypt.
Comments from corporate partners operating Israel's Leviathan gas field also say that "there has been no damage to the EMG pipeline connecting Israel and Egypt. Gas flow from Leviathan to Egypt continues as usual." The companies include Israel's Delek Drilling and the American firm Noble Energy.

[aries2200]

these are Polish and Ukrainian nationalists taking revenge on Israel ...

[Yaro Polk]

We see this source of replenishment of the Israeli budget, now it will periodically bang, here is such a "deal of the century" ...

[orionvitt]

that the object was attacked by a group of armed people of at least six people whose faces were hidden by masks. They committed sabotage.

It would be strange if the object was attacked by six masked men, and the sabotage was committed by others. Who writes this? Like, "A customer came into the store with a wallet of money. He made a purchase."

[Zoro]

The head of the Israeli Ministry of Energy, Yuval Steinitz, said that he does not know anything about the explosion, and information about the sabotage is checked

Israel’s standard answer to everything .. Maybe they blew it up?

[Ros 56]

It will still be oh-oh-oh. Palestinians will defend their line, no stripes will do anything.
