The army fended off a terror attack on a security checkpoint in the
Kawadis area in North Sinai on Sunday, killing 24 militants, a statement by
army spokesperson Tamer El-Refaei said.

The spokesperson added that six army personnel were killed during the fight.

El-Refaie added that two 4x4 vehicles used by the militants to carry out the
attack were destroyed.

The Sunday attack in Kawadis comes only one day after the army said it had
successfully thwarted a major attack on a security checkpoint in North
Sinai's Al-Arish.

On Friday, six army personnel were killed in another attack on a security
checkpoint also in the Al-Arish. A number of militants were killed and
injured when the army personnel returned fire during that fight, the army
said.
