Egypt tribesmen kill 8 suspected ISIS militants in Sinai

None

CAIRO - A powerful local tribe in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula says it killed eight suspected ISIS fighters in battle and captured three more.

 

The Tarabeen tribe has clashed repeatedly with a local ISIS affiliate in recent weeks, opening a new front against the insurgency raging in the northern Sinai, which borders Gaza and Israel.

 

Moussa al-Delh, a senior member of the tribe, said the clashes broke out Tuesday in the town of Rafah along the Gaza border, and that no tribesmen were killed.
