Daesh steps up attacks on Christians in Sinai, may hit more Christian commercial, church targets

Attacks by Daesh’s Sinai branch against Egypt’s Christian population continued, as Egyptian security officials say militants killed two Christians North of the Sinai, days after vowing to step up attacks against Christians, the Associated Press reports. The escalation could also see Daesh ratcheting up attacks on aviation facilities, and Christian commercial interest, IHS Jane reports. The group has also stepped up its propaganda, announcing a hit list of Churches the group plans to attack.
