In Egypt, during operation in the north of the Sinai Peninsula, the security forces eliminated five militants of the Islamic State. During searches in several caches of jihadists, the military found weapons, IEDs and rockets, with which the terrorists fired at the positions of government troops.
Since the beginning of the revenge campaign for the two liquidated leaders of the MTO, the IS branch in Egypt has become noticeably more active in the region. The militants of the group carried out more than ten terrorist attacks against the country’s Armed Forces and armed formations loyal to them.
