Air Force Egypt kills 19 IS warriors Sinai

The Egyptian Air Force killed nineteen supporters of the Islamic state group in northern Sinai.

The army did not name names. IS did not respond to the messages.

Since 2014, IS in the Sinai has killed hundreds of Egyptian soldiers and police officers. In recent months, members of the Christian minority were also target of the terrorist group. IS recently claimed responsibility for two bombings on coptic churches in Alexandria and Tanta.

Next week, Pope Francis comes for a visit to Egypt.
