Israeli Drone Strike in Egypt..and their Military doesn't seem to mind

An Israeli drone strike inside Egypt killed five suspected Islamic militants and destroyed a rocket launcher Friday, two senior Egyptian security officials said, marking a rare Israeli operation carried out in its Arab neighbor's territory. 
The strike, coming after a warning from Egypt caused Israel to briefly close an airport Thursday, potentially signals a significant new level of cooperation between the two former foes over security matters in the largely lawless the Sinai Peninsula after a military coup ousted Egypt's president. Egypt long has maintained that it wouldn't allow other countries to use its territories as hotbed to launch attacks against other countries.
Residents heard a large explosion Friday in el-Agra, an area in the northern region of Sinai close to Egypt's border with Israel. The officials said the Israeli attack was in cooperation with Egyptian authorities. 
It seems Israel may have done Egypt's military a favor:
Egypt's military and security forces are engaged in long battle against Islamic jihadis in the largely lawless peninsula. Islamic militants also have been stepping up attacks against security forces on the peninsula, raising fears that extremists could exploit the anger over the July 3 ouster of President Mohammed Morsi to spread their insurgency....

Now this is what I like to see. It reminds me of the good old days when Mubarak was running the show. There was never any hastility back then between Mubarak's regime and Israel.

It's beginning to show that Morsi was useless. The Radical Islamists in that part of Egypt were pretty much allowed to do what ever they wanted. This would never have been the case under Mubarak.

This is more like it. No sabre rattling by the Egyptian military. Morsi had allowed the scum to do what ever they wanted in that part of the Sinai. Even the Egyptian military has been fighting them. So Israel actually did Egypt and themselves a favor by taking some of the scum out.

I haven't seen this type of cooperation between Israel and Egypt since Mubarak.
