Sinai’s terrorist attack repelled
2020-02-13
[AlAhram] al-Ahram Weekly reports on Sinai’s second terrorist attack this month

Thanks to the efforts of the army Egypt is no longer among the top 10 countries affected by terrorism. The Egyptian army itself now ranks ninth among the strongest armies in the world.
The Armed Forces repelled a terrorist attack on a security installation in North Sinai on Sunday. According to local sources, the incident took place in al-Gora, south of Sheikh Zuweid.

In a press statement Military Spokesman Colonel Tamer al-Rifaai attributed the army’s success to "the vigilance of the guards who made it possible for the security force at the installation to intercept and engage the terrorists, killing 10 and destroying a four wheel drive vehicle."

#1  Al Gora was once the home of the Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) paid for by the United States and emplaced in Sinai. It was there to observe activity and maintain the peace between Egypt and Israel. It was a very large base. I suppose the relevance of the MFO is now nil.
