Egyptian President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi announced yesterday that the buffer
zone with the Gaza Strip has been expanded to three kilometres in some
places and around 80 per cent of the tunnels have been destroyed, Falesteen
newspaper reported.

About the general situation in Sinai, Al-Sisi said: "The armed forces and
police have so far destroyed 150 terror bases and arrested 188 terrorists."

He added: "Facing terror is a comprehensive attempt that includes fighting
poverty, ignorance and offering an enlightened religious discourse that
reforms the blurred ideologies."

Evaluating the operation, he said that "massive results" were achieved.
"Takfirists and terrorists were planning to do something in Sinai, but we
spoiled their plans," he said.

About Egypt's role in the Arab region, he said: "There are certain countries
trying to impose their agendas and threaten our national security."

In line with this stance, the National Defence Council decided to expand its
involvement in the Saudi-led air and naval operation against the Houthis in
Yemen.
