CAIRO, Egypt: Eight people were killed on Saturday after a shell landed on a house in southern Rafah, in the north of Sinai, eye witnesses and medical sources said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack and witnesses and medical sources said the source of the shell was unknown. Rafah is on the border with Gaza.
Egyptian forces have been fighting an Islamist insurgency in the Sinai Peninsula which has gained pace since the military toppled President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s oldest Islamist movement, in 2013.

DUBAI: Israel has destroyed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s underground bunker in Tehran, which is still used by senior Iranian officials after his assassination, Israeli media reported on Friday.
Israel’s military said 50 aircraft targeted the secret underground complex, spread over several blocks in the heart of Tehran, with over 100 munitions after receiving surveillance and intelligence reports, Jerusalem Post reported.
Some Iranian leaders were inside the subterranean complex when it was destroyed, Israeli media said.
There were numerous entrances to the secret subterranean complex, which was one of the critical command centers from which Khamenei and others often ran the country during a crisis, Jerusalem Post reported.
Israel’s military said Friday morning it had begun “a broad-scale wave of strikes” on Tehran, Iran’s capital.
Witnesses described the Israeli airstrikes as particularly intense, shaking homes in the area. Others reported explosions around the Iranian city of Kermanshah in an area that is home to multiple missile bases.
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said Friday that “some countries” had begun mediation efforts in the conflict, without elaborating.
