Major Crackdown By Egyptian Army

We’ve killed 32 ‘criminals’ and arrested 38 since Sinai terror attack, says Egyptian army

 

Egyptian armed forces have killed 32 “criminal elements” in the wake of the August 5 Gaza-Egypt-Israel border attack that killed 16 Egyptian border guards, military spokesman Ahmed Mohammed Ali said Saturday. They have also arrested another 38 people and destroyed 31 smuggling tunnels along the Gaza border in the ongoing operation.

Ali referred to the first portion of the Egypt’s military campaign in Sinai as “very successful,” and said it would continue until all the army’s goals are achieved.

The spokesman also hinted that the army has operated within the framework of the Israeli-Egyptian peace agreement, the 1979 Camp David Accords. He said Egypt has acted “alone” and according to “all international agreements” in its pursuit of terror operatives in the peninsula.
