motorcycles without license plates that were allegedly used in carrying out
terrorist attacks, and destroyed five tunnels in Rafah.

Samir added that 14 militants were killed in northern Sinai in an exchange
of fire in the districts of al-Nosraniya, al-Zawraa and al-Quwaiaat,
pointing out that the army arrested a very dangerous terrorist named Sweilam
Mohamed Salem Salama.
