Egypt’s army, in cooperation with the Air Force, killed a high-ranking takfiri in North Sinai, and arrested 22 individuals suspected of supporting takfiri elements, as part of the troops’ continued operations in the peninsula to uproot terrorists.
The army spokesperson Tamer al-Refaei, said that the army’s ground troops, alongside the Air Force, seized communication devices and an automatic weapon from the terrorist, after killing him.
