On Saturday, Egyptian warplanes killed 25 Islamist militants in North Sinai, security sources said, as the Egyptian president visited the province after a major escalation of the conflict there.
The aerial attacks in Rafah, Al-Arish and Sheikh Zuweid came only days after militants launched a coordinated assault on military checkpoints in North Sinai, leading to day-long fighting which left more than 100 militants and 17 soldiers dead.
