3 Egyptian soldiers killed in clashes with zionist-backed terrorists in Sinai

Clashes with zionist-backed terrorists have killed three Egyptian soldiers in Sinai as tensions continue to rise in the peninsula.

A group of armed men attacked security forces stationed in the central Um Shyhan area, causing the fatalities and injuring four others.

The incident comes one week after zionist-backed terrorists killed 16 Egyptian border security guards and injured several others near the Sinai border with the Occupied Territories.

On Monday, an official statement by the Palestinian resistance movement of Hamas condemned the attack and dismissed the idea that people from inside Gaza may have been involved.

Police checkpoints in the region have come under a series of attacks by armed assailants over the past few days.
