ISIL CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR ISRAELI TOURIST BUS ATTACK

ISIS terrorist group has claimed Friday to have staged an attack on an Israeli tourist bus in Cairo.
ISIS terrorist group said on Friday its members carried out an attack on Israeli tourists in Cairo in response to a call by the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to target Jews "everywhere".
The group said in an internet statement that light arms were used in Thursday's assault outside a Cairo hotel, in which no one was hurt.
Egypt's interior ministry said the attack was directed at security forces and was carried out by a lone gunman who fired bird shot. The attacker was arrested, it added.
Security sources said the tourists were Israeli Arabs and there were no casualties.
ISIL's Egypt affiliate, based in the restive Sinai, is fighting Egyptian security forces and mostly targeting soldiers and policemen.
The tourism industry is a vital source of hard currency in Egypt and is highly sensitive to attacks; Aljazeera reported.
