CAIRO: The Egyptian army killed 14 terrorists during armed clashes and military operations in the North Sinai Governorate on Wednesday.

Seven terrorists were killed in skirmishes with law enforcement authorities when they attempted to attack a security installation in North Sinai, according to an Egyptian military statement.

According to the statement, the terrorists’ automatic rifles, hand grenades, and wireless communication devices were recovered.

According to the statement, another seven terrorists were killed in an air raid in North Sinai the same day.

The anti-terror operations were launched after 11 Egyptian soldiers were killed and five more were injured in battles with terrorists in western Sinai on May 7.

Egypt has managed to reduce terrorist activity in the Sinai Peninsula after a decade of fighting terrorism in the northern part of the peninsula.

The majority of the terrorists in Sinai are members of the Islamic State group.
