3 Soldier Killed in ISIS Attack to Egypt Sinai
A roadside bomb claimed by the ISIS group killed three Egyptian soldiers in the Sinai Peninsula on Monday, medical and security officials said.
The blast struck on the Egyptian side of the divided city of Rafah on the Gaza border.
"An officer and two soldiers were killed and another soldier wounded when their armoured vehicle hit a bomb in the Tawil al-Amir district," the security official told AFP.
Terrorists who have pledged allegiance to ISIS, said they carried out the attack.
"We blew up an armoured vehicle of the apostate army and everyone inside was killed," ISIS Sinai Province said on its Twitter account.
Formerly known as Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, the group has carried out repeated deadly attacks on the security forces in its peninsula stronghold.
Twin bomb attacks claimed by the group on April 12 killed at least 14 people, 11 of them security personnel.
On April 2, the group launched simultaneous attacks on five checkpoints in the region that killed 15 soldiers and two civilians.
