Facing radical Islamists, Egypt and Hamas enter a coalition of sorts with Israel. But Cairo's conciliatory approach toward them might backfire.

Alleged operation comes after global jihad websites said that an Israeli aircraft targeted and killed a militant 15 kilometers south of Egypt's border with Israel.

Suspect was allegedly involved in August 5 attack in which 16 Egyptian border policemen were killed.

In meetings with Morsi representatives, Islamist militants agree to turn over foreign jihadists, as sides agree to halt attacks against each other.

Egyptian military leaders apparently circumvented attempts to forge Sinai security agreement, as delegates sent by Morsi negotiated a ceasefire with the help of former Islamist activists.

After reports that it was stopping military activities in the peninsula, Egypt's Defense Ministry announces army is redeploying forces in a wider area.

While military campaign has been frozen, Egypt's army continues demolishing tunnels near Rafah border with Gaza; 120 tunnels destroyed thus far, according to some estimates.

Following the Egyptian president's remarks to Reuters that the Egypt-Israel peace treaty is safe, the foreign minister says he hopes to see Morsi in Israel.

Talks between Egyptian government representatives and leaders of Jihadist organizations in the peninsula apparently led to cease-fire; demolition of Gaza-Egypt tunnels continues, however.

Egyptian newspaper reports that a delegation sent by President Morsi met with radical Salafi leaders on Saturday, resulting in agreements to cease fire and free prisoners.

In phone conversation, Egypt's Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi tells Ehud Barak that Egypt remains committed to peace agreement between two nations, according to London-based al-Hayat.

Egyptian military official tells Maan news agency that three days of talks between Israeli and Egyptian representatives have yielded significant progress over military presence in the peninsula.

Security coordination with Egypt has seemed very good, though as the Sinai continues to heat up, the otherwise vocal Prime Minister has kept quiet on the subject.

Egyptian military source refutes reports that entry of troops and tanks into Sinai violated terms of peace treaty.

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says U.S. supports Egypt's fight against terror in Sinai, but that the country should keep its international obligations.
