And before last November 20, an explosion occurred in the main line carrying natural gas between Egypt and Israel, also in the Sabika area.
At that time, the Egyptian army spokesman, Colonel Tamer Al-Rifai, described the blast as the border, stressing that no injuries or losses were recorded.
Also at that time, the Israeli newspaper, Yediot Aharonot, reported that Wilayat Sinai, the Egyptian branch of the Islamic State, announced that it had claimed responsibility for the attack through its Telegram account.
Over the past years, the organization has repeatedly targeted the gas pipelines in North Sinai, in addition to repeatedly attacking the Egyptian army and security forces there.
