There has been another attempt to attack the natural gas pipeline from Egypt to Israel. The Associated Press reports that gunmen targeted a pipeline carrying natural gas from Egypt to Israel and Jordan for the second time in less than two months. The men planted explosive at the facility and fled. But the timer failed to detonate the explosives and soldiers were able to defuse the device.

Globes reports that the flow of gas from Egypt to Israel was stopped but resumed this afternoon after the failed attack.

A security official said that this morning, six individuals overpowered one guard watching a gas terminal in El-Sabil, a village west of the northern Sinai city of El-Arish. The men planted explosive at the facility and fled.

A bomb placed at another gas terminal along the pipeline blew up, halting gas exports to Israel and Jordan on February 5. The flow resumed on March 16.
