The battle for the Sinai continues as Egyptian warplanes reportedly killed 25 Islamist militants in North Sinai on July 4. Air strikes hit militant targets, destroying weapons and explosives stored by the militants near the town of Sheikh Zuweid.
It was also revealed in a Reuters report that security forces had found about half a ton of explosives in a tunnel on the border between the Sinai and Gaza.
The air strikes on militant positions took place while Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi inspected soldiers and police in El-Arish, the provincial capital of Sinai. Al-Sisi told troops at least 200 militants had been killed in the fighting in recent days, but added, “For me to say that things are under control is not enough, things are totally stable. I tell Egyptians … the size of forces here (in Sinai) is 1% of Egypt’s army.”
