Eight suspected extremists were killed and six others injured in air strikes
by Apache helicopters in North Sinai Sheikh Zuwayed region.
Security forces maintained their presence in North Sinai’s major roads,
conducting searches in coastal areas and inspecting the cars passing in the
area.
Egypt’s military has been intensifying its operations in the restive Sinai
Peninsula where extremist groups have become more active since the ouster of
former president Mohamed Morsy. Sinai-based armed groups have claimed
responsibility for most of the deadly attacks carried out against the
security forces in the peninsula.
Army statements have not revealed the identities of the extremists killed in
the raid.
