Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
Islamic terrorist group ISIS says their affiliate in the Sinai Peninsula fired a guided rocket at an Egyptian Navy vessel near Rafah that burst into flame.
The military confirmed a frigate had been pursuing ISIS terrorists near Rafah and had “engaged in gunfire” with the extremists and the ship experienced a fire but said no one had been killed.
The terrorists, however, released a series of photos that appear to show a rocket flying toward an Egyptian frigate, causing a massive explosion and fire. The terrorists claim everyone on board was killed.
The SITE Intelligence Group told the BBC the missile appeared to be an anti-tank missile. Witnesses say that other Egyptian military craft rushed to the side of the stricken vessel.
The attack is believed to be the first time the terrorist group has launched a missile attack on a ship. It raises concerns that they would attempt to disrupt shipping traffic through the Suez Canal.
ISIS has been particularly active in Egypt over the last four weeks. The group claimed the assassination of the country’s top prosecutor, killing 21 soldiers in the town of Sheikh Zuwaid and Saturday’s bombing of the Italian Consulate in Cairo.
