The attack was announced by the military as Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. No party claimed responsibility for the Wednesday attack, which came four days after a militant attack on the Sinai Peninsula was claimed by the Islamic State group, killing 11 Egyptian soldiers who were attempting to prevent a "terrorist attack on the Suez Canal zone bordering the Sinai Peninsula." 

Egypt El-Sisi orders ending terrorism in North Sinai

Following the incident, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi headed a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Egyptian Armed Forces, amid widespread international and Arab condemnation of the attack.

El-Sisi directed law enforcement agents to complete the expulsion of "terrorist units" from some areas in North Sinai.

It is worth mentioning that the Egyptian military forces had conducted a month-long ground and air campaign in May 2020 to target armed organizations and Takfiri groups, as well as their logistical equipment.
