CAIRO: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi on Wednesday ordered his military command to use all force necessary to secure the Sinai peninsula within the next three months following a militant attack on a mosque that killed more than 300 people.
“It is your responsibility to secure and stabilize Sinai within the next three months,” Sisi said addressing his new chief of staff in a speech, without giving details on any operations. “You can use all brute force necessary.”
No group has claimed responsibility for Friday’s mosque attack, but Egyptian forces have been battling a stubborn Daesh affiliate in the North Sinai for more than three years and militants have killed hundreds of police and soldiers.

Medical supplies delivered to Hadhramaut coast
- The move aims to enhance the readiness of health facilities and strengthen their capacity to respond swiftly and effectively to cholera cases
RIYADH: The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has delivered a range of medical supplies to the Yemeni Ministry of Health’s office in Hadhramaut.
The move aims to enhance the readiness of health facilities and strengthen their capacity to respond swiftly and effectively to cholera cases, Saudi Press Agency reported.
The support comes as part of the Emergency Cholera Response Project in Yemen.
Saleh Al-Omqi, Hadhramaut council secretary-general, appreciated the Kingdom’s urgent humanitarian intervention, noting that it contributes to containing the cholera outbreak and limiting its spread in the targeted areas.
He stressed that this support goes beyond the delivery of medical supplies, representing an integrated package to enhance the operational readiness of health facilities.
The project targets areas most affected by the outbreak and aims to reduce infection rates and curb the spread of cholera through preventive measures.
These include the establishment of specialized medical teams to screen and monitor travelers at air and land ports in several governorates, including Aden and Hadhramaut, benefiting 1.153 million individuals.
