Cairo (IINA) – At least eight members of a family, including a child, were killed and one injured in an attack by unknown militants in Egypt’s restive north Sinai province.
“The attack on the family happened on Wednesday when masked militants attacked their house. Eight people were killed and one person was severely injured,” said Abdel Fattah Harhor, North Sinai governor.
“The militants planted bombs in a car parking area near the house that had six vehicles,” security sources said. Residents of the neighborhood described the explosion as huge.
“Primary investigation shows that those who were killed belonged to same family from Rafah. Police forces are currently searching for attackers responsible for the incident,” Harhor said.
