The Muslim Brotherhood’s real leader, who was until now Mr. X., ix now Known.
The Egyptian Army Leaders have Once Again driven Muslim Brotherhood
Underground!
Muslim Brotherhood goes underground and hides its command structure in Gaza
It will plan and direct violent Surface actions as it did before Morsi was President
But submerged Muslim Brotherhood Rats will surface before Final war with Jews
In Egypt and Jordan these Rats will surface internally to attack them from Within
And Gaza & West Bank Palestinians fight outwardly as Israel is driven into Negev.

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report
August 11, 2013, 6:27 PM (IDT)
Mr. X, secret Brotherhood leader
On July 22, DEBKAfile revealed that a group of six Muslim Brotherhood officials escaped from Egypt after the July 3 overthrow of president Mohamed Morsi in a military coup and smuggled themselves into the Gaza Strip to lead an uprising against the military. The group was headed by Mahmud Izzat Ibrahim, known as the Brotherhood’s “iron man” and fourth in rank in its hierarchy after Supreme Guide Muhammed Badie.
The fugitives set up a command post at the Gaza Beach Hotel for operations against Egyptian military and security targets in collaboration with Hamas and armed Al Qaeda-linked Salafist Bedouin in Sinai. The group planned their revolt to spread quickly out from Sinai to Egypt proper and topple the interim rulers in Cairo.
Western intelligence agencies following the inner workings of the Muslim Brotherhood have since discovered that the Brotherhood’s plans are a good deal more high-powered than first thought.
According to DEBKAfile intelligence sources, the movement never dismantled its clandestine paramilitary underground. Its hidden commanders manipulated front politicians from the shadows under three Egyptian presidents and continued to do so after the Brotherhood was elected to power in Cairo in 2012. At all times since then, the Brothers stood ready to step in should their Freedom and Justice Party leaders be ousted and sent back to prison. “Supreme Guide,” Mohammed Badie was therefore no more than an obedient front for the Muslim Brotherhood’s real leader, who was until now Mr. X.
It now transpires that he is none other than Mahmoud Izzat Ibrahim, who is firmly at the helm and running the show both in Sinai and Cairo from the Gaza Beach Hotel, under the auspices of the Palestinian Hamas rulers.
He plans to confront with violence every action ordered against the Brotherhood by Defense Minister, Gen. Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi.
While conducting a war of terror against military targets in Sinai, Izzat Ibrahim’s orders keep thousands of followers maintaining their sit-in protests in Cairo for their president’s reinstatement. They are determined to leave the military no option but to use force to disperse them.
Ibrahim’s goal is to lead his movement into a bloody confrontation with the military.
Gen. El-Sisi, for his part, knows that the Brotherhood’s underground command center in the Gaza Beach Hotel must be destroyed in order to beat its war of resistance.
For effective action in the Gaza Strip, the Egyptian military needs help from Israel’s Defense Forces, just as the IDF needs the Egyptian army to counteract the al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorists in Sinai who are dedicated to attacking Israel as well as Egypt.
This tacit interdependence and the interchanges against a shared enemy shot into prominence over two incidents. The first was the two-hour closure Thursday, Aug. 8 of Eilat airport at Israel’s southernmost tip, following an Egyptian intelligence tip-off over a missile threat from Sinai. Then Friday, Aug. 9, foreign sources reported that two missiles fired by an Israeli drone in North Sinai destroyed a missile launcher and killed four or five terrorists at Ajarah.
Israel never confirmed this attack. The impression it made was quickly overlaid with conflicting reports. Egyptian officials initially attributed the Israeli drone attack to intelligence cooperation between the two armies. An Al-Qaeda group in Sinai, Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, accused Israel of killing four of its members by a drone strike and vowed vengeance. DEBKAfile reported that the attack may not have been conducted by Israel but Egyptian authorities, which preferred to disavow an operation carried out on the Muslim festival of Eid al-Fitr.
Finally, Sunday, the Egyptian military reported that its operation against armed groups in the Sinai believed to have been plotting attacks on security forces and other targets was ongoing. At least seven people were killed over night and six arrested in a raid.
The Egyptian military statement went on to report that the raid followed an air strike by the Egyptian military on Friday, which saw at least four people killed. The assault on Saturday happened when Apache helicopters hit areas south of Sheikh Zuwaid in north Sinai, according to Egyptian state media.
Israel’s Defense minister commented: “The Egyptian army is fighting first and foremost to defend Egyptian citizens and sovereignty. We will not let rumors and speculation impair the peace relations between our countries.”

RAT KILLING CONTINUES IN SINAI BY EGYPTIANS & ISRAELIS

Military officials say Egyptian helicopters fired at a gathering of suspected Egypt army says 12 militants killed in north Sinai
Military officials say helicopters fired at gathering of militants wanted for killing, abduction of seven Egyptian soldiers earlier 2013

Militants, killing at least 12 in the northern region of the country’s Sinai Peninsula.
The officials say three helicopters targeted militants in the desert town of Sheik Zuweyid late Saturday. All officials spoke anonymously because they were not authorized to speak to reporters.

Military spokesman Col. Ahmed Mohammed Ali confirmed the attack in a post on his official Facebook page. He said 25 militants were targeted, but did not offer a breakdown of casualties.
He added the militants were wanted for an attack on Egyptian soldiers last year that killed 16 and the abduction of seven security forces earlier this year.
The helicopter strike came after an alleged Israeli drone strike Friday on Egyptian territory in Sinai killed suspected militants.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon neither confirmed nor denied Israeli involvement in the attack and said that his country won’t let recent “rumors and speculation” harm the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty, an attempt to downplay reports that an Israeli drone killed four militants in a cross-border strike into Egypt.
The Israeli military said Friday it was looking into the report. On Sunday it said it had no further comment.
Egyptian officials initially said an Israeli drone carried out the attack, but an official quoted by the state media later claimed an Egyptian helicopter was responsible.
Ya’alon said that Israel “appreciated” unspecified actions taken by Egypt against militants over the weekend.
“Israel respects the full sovereignty of Egypt,” Ya’alon said. He said Israel was “aware of the Egyptian military’s increased activity against terror infrastructures in the Sinai Peninsula” and praised the Egyptian military for “fighting first and foremost to protect Egypt’s citizens and sovereignty.”
A little known militant group, Ansar Jerusalem, said its men were the target of Friday’s drone strike into Egyptian territory. It said four militants were killed as they were preparing to fire rockets into Israel.
The Israeli praise of Egypt protecting its citizens seemed intended to deflect reports that Israel carried out a rare cross-border attack to protect its own citizens. Egypt is highly sensitive to criticism about letting Israel carry out strikes on its soil.
The attack could indicate increased cooperation between Egypt and Israel against militants in northern Sinai after a coup ousted Islamist President Mohamed Morsi last month. It also is likely to increase tensions in a border region that has seen other rocket attacks in the past.
Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty in 1979.

30 YEARS LATER – HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET!

Iran’s New Defense Minister: Behind the 1983 Attack on the U.S. Marine Corps Barracks in Beirut
Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Dr. Shimon Shapira
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)
The newly-elected president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, has appointed Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehghan as the new defense minister.
In the summer of 1982, Dehghan was sent to Lebanon where he served as commander of the training corps of Revolutionary Guard and a year later was appointed commander of the Revolutionary Guard force in Lebanon.
In September 1983, Hizbullah, with the help of the Revolutionary Guard headed by Dehghan, took over the Sheikh Abdullah barracks, the main base of the Lebanese army in the Beqaa Valley. It now became the Imam Ali barracks, the main headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard.
From this headquarters, Iran controlled Hizbullah’s military force and planned, along with Hizbullah, the terror attacks on the Beirut-based Multinational Force and against IDF forces in Lebanon.
According to the U.S. Marine commander, the NSA intercepted the Iranian orders to strike on Sept. 26, 1983. It is difficult to imagine that such a directive would be transmitted without the knowledge of the Revolutionary Guards’ commander, Hossein Dehghan.
On Oct. 25, 1983, a Shiite suicide bomber detonated a water tanker at the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, killing 241 Marines; simultaneously, another Shiite suicide bomber blew up the French paratroopers’ barracks in Beirut, killing 58 soldiers.
