10 Egyptian Soldiers Killed in Sinai Roadside Bombings
Local Editor
Ten Egyptian soldiers were killed in two roadside bombings as they clashed with Daesh terrorists in the Sinai Peninsula, the military said on Thursday.
Fifteen terrorists were also killed in the fighting, the military said in a statement, without saying when the incidents took place.
The military said the clashes broke out when soldiers raided "an extremely dangerous" terrorist hideout.
Daesh said in a statement on Wednesday afternoon that it blew up two army vehicles during clashes south of the Sinai city of El-Arish.
The terrorists killed hundreds of soldiers and policemen since the army overthrew President Mohamed Morsi in 2013 and cracked down on his supporters.
The attacks have mostly been confined to Sinai, which borders the ‘Israeli'-occupied Palestine and the Palestinian Gaza Strip, but the terrorists have also struck elsewhere.
In October 2015, the group claimed responsibility for bombing a Russian airliner carrying holidaymakers from a south Sinai resort, killing all 224 people on board.
