An extensive funeral procession was held for four jihadists recently killed in the Sinai. Ansar Jerusalem and the MSC in Jerusalem both issued statements regarding the deaths of the four fighters. Both jihadist groups accused Egypt of collaborating with Israel and allowing the IAF to carry out the strike that killed the jihadists. The Egyptian army reportedly targeted a number of jihadists in the Sinai, some of whom are believed to be tied to the August 2012 killings of 16 Egyptian soldiers.
