The Egyptian Armed Forces on Sunday said it has killed 126 terrorists in 22 raids and 12 operations across the country.
According to a statement from the army, 228 terrorist hideouts, 116 four-wheel-drive trucks and eight tunnels were destroyed during the military operations.
The army also said that 630 bombs that were planted by the terrorists had been detonated, and that 266 suspects were also arrested.
Four officers, three non-commissioned officers and eight soldiers were either killed or injured during the operations, the statement noted, without specifying the exact number of deaths.
This comes just two days after 10 army members, including two officers, were “either killed or injured” in a terrorist attack in Bir El Abd city, North Sinai, according to Military Spokesman Tamer Al-Refae.
