Egypt’s army killed ten "terrorists" and injured 13 others in fresh
raids on militant hideouts in the troubled North Sinai, the army spokesman
said on his Facebook page Friday.

Ground forces carried out raids in Al-Arish, Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah, aided
by an army helicopter cover.

Forces also arrested six on suspicion of carrying out attacks against
security forces.

The army was able to find and destroy an underground tunnel north of the
Rafah border crossing replete with cement walls, electricity and light. It
was used in smuggling, the statement added.

Egypt has been long working to quell a decade-long Islamist insurgency that
spiked in the past three years.

Terrorist attacks in Egypt have killed hundreds of security forces in recent
years. Authorities have reported that hundreds of militants have been killed
in army campaigns in the North Sinai governorate.
