Air attacks in the northern Sinai Peninsula have killed 16 armed fighters with ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Egypt's military spokesman.
Colonel Ahmed Mohammed Ali said on Saturday that the raids had targeted hideouts of "terrorist, extremely dangerous" armed groups late on Friday in the eastern border town of Sheikh Zuweid.
It was the fourth such attack with a high death toll since armed fighters downed a military helicopter in a nearby area on January 24, killing all its crew members.
