Insurgent activities have been on the rise since the ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013. Many of the attacks have been claimed either by Ajnad Masr or ‘State of Sinai’. The groups mainly target areas with high security presence.
The most recent of the attacks claimed by North Sinai-based ‘State of Sinai’ was carried out on Thursday, targeting security facilities in North Sinai killing at least 30, and possibly dozens more.
