Egyptian military forces reported that suspicious movement of “terrorist” gunmen was spotted after dawn prayer in two areas “thanks to advanced night vision surveillance devices."
In an area known as Najid Square, the Egyptian army noticed
more than 30 gunmen on motorbikes reportedly armed with rocket-propelled
grenade launchers advancing towards checkpoints the Egyptian army had recently
set up south of Sheikh Zuweid. Egyptian forces fired artillery shells at the
gunmen, killing 35.
