ANOTHER HUGE EXPLOSION CUTS VITAL GAS SUPPLIES TO ISRAEL FROM EGYPT

Natural gas supplies to Jordan and Israel were disrupted after a huge explosion destroyed a section of the pipeline near Egyptian town of Al-Arish in northern Sinai Peninsula on Tuesday.

There have several other similar attacks on Egypt-Jordan-Israel gas pipelines in the past. 

Both Israel and Jordan depend heavily on imported natural gas from Egypt but according to analysts Israel is always willing to pay above market price to purchase this valuable commodity as it's vital to its existence at the time when busy breaking international norms on regular basis.

After the fall of Egyptian puppet President Hosni Mubarak earlier this year, Tel Aviv and Washington lost one of their most subservient pawns in the region. 

Mubarak helped gas exports cheaply to Israel with a major part of the revenue going directly into his own offshore bank accounts therefore leaving Egyptian people out of this transaction altogether.

Since the fall of Mubarak regime, revolutionary forces have targeted vital gas pipelines to Israel as a way of pressuring Tel Aviv to respect international regulations and end the seize of Gaza immediately.

Egyptian security forces find and defuse a number of similar explosive devices along the same pipeline regularly.
