For Egypt, avenging Sinai attack may include striking Gaza
Cairo has already begun to punish the Islamic State for Wednesday's massive assault; Hamas, which may have supplied anti-aircraft weapons to the militants, may not be immune either.
Throughout the night, the echoes of explosions from the Egyptian airstrikes on various targets in the northern Sinai Peninsula could be heard on the Israeli side of the border.
Those weapons, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, came in through the Gaza Strip. Therefore, Egyptian airstrikes inside the Gaza Strip cannot be ruled out entirely

Egypt launches air strikes on group linked to Isis
Egypt launched air strikes on Islamist militant targets in the Sinai peninsula on Thursday, killing 23 fighters a day after the deadliest clashes in the region in years, security sources said.
The sources said those killed had taken part in Wednesday's fighting in which 100 militants and 17 soldiers, including four officers, were killed, according to the army spokesman.

Bloody ISIS campaign spills across region, into Egypt
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria earned its brutal reputation as it spread violence and terror across those two war-torn countries.
But in an apparent expansion of its reach, it has, in just the past week, claimed responsibility for a roll call of attacks in other countries: the deadly bombing of a mosque in Kuwait last Friday, the horrific beachfront killings in Tunisia the same day and now coordinated military attacks in Egypt.
ISIS apparently launched simultaneous attacks Wednesday on Egyptian military checkpoints, reportedly killing 17 Egyptian soldiers and injuring 30 others.
The wave of violence comes after a spokesman for the Sunni extremist group urged followers to step up attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. And it shows how ISIS' tentacles are reaching out from Yemen on the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula across the Gulf states to Tunisia in North Africa.
