I have to say: good show, IDF!
it seems that many Israeli civilians owe their lives to our security forces.
credit is also due to the extremely effective intelligence efforts of shaback and military intelligence.

regarding Egyptian response:
It seems that the Egyptians are convinced that the terrorists came from Gaza strip. they say that the terrorists fled into the strip using the tunnels that they built that connect the strip with the Sinai peninsula. The Egyptian press say that the army confronted the terrorists in the tunnels entrances and that they army has completely surrounded the city of Rafiah and are conducting searches in the city.

meanwhile, Hamas also issued a statement stating un-involvement in the terror attack and condolences for the families of the Egyptian casualties.
