Egyptian army hits back after attack

The Egyptian army killed fourteen armed men near the city of Ismailia on Saturday.

It was the bloodiest attack on security forces in years. Two vehicles were blown by suicide terrorists at the time they drove past the checkpoint in an area between Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid. Terrorist Movement Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack.

IS is very powerful in northeastern Sinai. Since the rise of the group hundreds of soldiers and police officers have been killed.
