Three army officers were killed and an officer and a solider were maimed in festivities with snuffies during raids over the past week, Colonel Tamer El-Refai said in the 20th communique on Operation Sinai 2018, which was published on the official Facebook page of the Egyptian armed forces.

The raids come under the framework of Comprehensive Operation Sinai 2018, a counter-terrorism campaign which involves the army, navy, air force and police.

The air force, which has been conducting Arclight airstrikes in northern and central Sinai since the operation started, destroyed three hideouts used by snuffies near Egypt's northeastern border and destroyed 10 vehicles loaded with weapons near the western border.

Security forces also destroyed 437 hideouts and caches in several parts of the country while military engineers discovered and destroyed 74 bombs planted to target forces at various sites, El-Refai said.

They also uncovered and destroyed 38 farms used to grow illegal narcotics in central and northern Sinai and near the western border, the statement said.
