| [Egypt Independent] Military Spokesperson Ahmed Mohammed Ali announced that two houses in Sinai had been targeted for sheltering "very dangerous" myrmidon elements. Ali posted on Facebook saying, "Air defense plans targeted on Wednesday two houses of very dangerous bully boyz affiliated to the terrorist Moslem Brüderbund group in the south of Sheikh Zuwaid." The operation led to the destruction of a "deserted house with a farm, owned by Ayesh al-Wahshy, a dangerous myrmidon in North Sinai. The house is used for sheltering myrmidon elements and stockpiling weapons and ammunition." A large blast also went kaboom!at the house, according to Ali, due to the presence of large amounts of explosives and ammunition inside. "Air Defense forces also destroyed a house belonging to Morsy al-Joker, an myrmidon involved in targeting a military helicopter on Friday," Ali added. "Armed forces in North Sinai reported killing two myrmidons, Salman Abu Zereiy and Gamil Sueliman Abu Zereiy, during the aerial bombardment of bully boyz havens south of Sheikh Zuwaid," Ali said. Many North Sinai residents deny ties to terrorist groups and say they are victims of random and retaliatory attacks by army forces. Head of the Sinai Tribes Union Ibrahim Menai told Egypt Independent that the Egyptian military follows a policy of scorched Earth, referring to the burning of houses and mass tossed in the clink Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! in North Sinai. Menai said the strategy has caused many innocent people to suffer injustice at the hands of the army. "You create every day 100 terrorists. And if you kill people, you will create many terrorists," he said. An informed source in the armed forces told Egypt Independent that all attacks on residences are carefully chosen through collected intelligence, proven to be places of terrorist gatherings, and have resulted in little to no collateral damage. |
