Does Egypt Accept Israeli Help?

Question

According to an Israeli news story (consider the source), an Israeli unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) fired at a terrorist in Sinai Sunday and killed him.
Egypt has been having some trouble with Jihadis in the Sinai in recent weeks, and has engaged the jihadis and killed several after the jihadis had attacked and killed many Egyptian military personnel. The specific jihadi in the article had been arrested by Egypt recently.
An Israeli UAV was reportedly circling overhead at the time of the blast. However, yet another report quoted Egyptian security sources in northern Sinai who said that they doubted Israel was behind the attack because "Israel would not dare cross the border." They surmised the terrorist was killed by a rocket propelled grenade.
Now the question:

Does this indicate that Egypt is okay with Israeli UAVs killing people Egypt finds undesirable, so much so that Egypt will make up a reasonable-sounding story that lets Israel off the hook?

Or, is it actually more likely that the jihadi was killed by an RPG, and targeted by whom? Does this would mean the Egyptian military scored a victory (which it probably would be glad to take credit for), or else the jihadi was killed by other jihadis in the region?

I gotta say that I take anything from Arutz Sheva with a grain of salt.  However, there has been, and apparently continues to be, coordination between the Egyptian and Israeli military.  None of them want the Jihadis running wild.

The only country that accepts no Israeli help, even when it's citizens are dying, is Iran, which, as everyone knows, is ruled by people who are clinically insane.

I doubt the Egyptian military would seek support from another country's army that killed 6 of its conscripts on the Egyptian-Israeli border earlier last year, The EA can carry out its job by itself. 
What makes me feel that all what's happening in sinai is a conspiracy is that those "terrorists" have no reason at all to attack Egypt plus all of their organizations denied being involved in kiling the Egyptian military personnel...

~And even if Egypt did actually ask Israel to send UAV's over egyptian airspace to kill people on Egyptian soil, they know that if such news spread between the public another revolution would start.
