Egyptian military says it has destroyed dozens of targets killing sixteen militants as part of its latest operation in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula.
The Egyptian army spokesman said today that air force targeted and destroyed sixty six hideouts of the terrorists.
The operation was started on Friday in response to a pickup in extremist violence in Egypt. It involves land, naval and air forces from the army and police, and covers north and central Sinai, the Nile Delta and the Western Desert along the porous border with Libya.AFP
