DAMASCUS, SYRIA (3:25 P.M.) – Brand new footage has emerged of Egyptian warplanes monitoring and destroying an insurgent convoy that was spotted trying to enter Egypt through its western border with Libya:



The vehicles appeared to be loaded with weapons and were manned by suspected ISIS sleeper cells whom had escaped the battle of Sirte in late 2016, setting up camp in the vast desert of Libya instead.

Last month, the Egyptian Air Force also conducted sorties over the border with Libya in response to a series of terror attacks conducted by ISIS against military service men and members of the country’s Coptic minority.

Meanwhile, an ISIS franchise branch is still active in eastern Egypt on the Sinai Peninsula where several tribal leaders have sworn an oath of allegiance to Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, prompting the Egyptian Armed Forces to declare martial law throughout the governorate.
