Bedouin militants are believed to be behind the attacks of the pipeline which now accounts to 15thsince a popular uprising toppled former president Hosni Mubarak in February 2011, AFP reported.

An official in the company that manages the pipeline said exports of gas to both Israel and Jordan had been halted since an explosion that hit the pipeline in April and that the flames were caused by residual gas, however, residents of El-Arish said gas shipments had resumed three days ago through the pipeline, AFP reported.

Egypt in April canceled its agreement to supply gas to Israel to agree on a new price.

The 2005 Egypt-Israel gas deal has been viewed by many Egyptians with great suspicion while critics point out Israel got gas at below market prices making the deal a rip-off for Egypt.

After the January 2011 uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak, the deal came under attack from revolutionary groups and critics who said the deal was one of the former president’s worst crimes. The pipeline was bombed by unknown assailants 14 times causing Egypt to halt the deal a month later. Some Mubarak-era ministers and businessmen have faced trial and imprisoned for selling the gas to Israel at so low prices.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet.
