Attack At Sinai Peninsula

Egypt's military launched air strikes against terrorists targets in the Sinai Peninsula on Saturday, the army said, after the ISIS killed 12 soldiers at a checkpoint.

During the last Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, this stunning Red Sea resort town was crowded with tourists from all around the world. During the same festival season last week, the beaches were half-filled, and hotel occupancy rates were low. At night, on the seaside promenade, restaurants and bars were largely empty. Some were closed.

Separate militant attacks in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula killed one soldier and wounded another today, a day after jihadists loyal to the Islamic State group killed 14 people in twin bombings

Two separate bomb attacks targeting security forces in Egypt's Sinai peninsula killed at least 13 people and wounded dozens on Sunday, the latest in a wave of violence in a region hit by an Islamist insurgency.

Militant attacks have intensified and spread beyond Islamist strongholds in the Sinai Peninsula since Mursi's fall. Hundreds of police and soldiers have been killed.

Egypt deployed helicopter gunships to the Sinai Peninsula on Monday to hunt for the militants who killed 16 soldiers at a checkpoint along the border with Israel, according to security and military officials. Israel meanwhile stepped up pressure on Egypt to clamp down on the lawless border zone.
