After each attack in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, everybody starts talking about the need to impose security but the warnings go unheeded and the attacks CONTINUE. Palestinians were accused of perpetrating the latest attack in the city of al-Arish that led to dozens of victims among civilians, the army and the police force but no culprits were caught.

It is the regular civilians living in Sinai who are increasingly suffering from what they describe as “more and more serious violations” against them.
