A military spokesman stated that it had also seized a number of weapons, including machine guns, RPGs and homemade grenades, Egypt’s Ahram reported as quoted by Mi’raj News Agency (MINA).
They also destroyed sixty-one houses belonged to militants, Ali added.
Sinai has witnessed attacks on police and army personnel on an almost daily basis in response to the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July. Dozens of members of the security forces have been killed in the violence.
Attempts by the military to crackdown on militants in the peninsula have also killed dozens of the militants. (T/P03/E1)
