The operation involves troops from the Egyptian air force, navy and ground forces as well as the police and border guards.

Meanwhile, a video said to be from the Islamic State (ISIS) affiliate in Egypt is calling on jihadists to carry out attacks during next month's presidential elections and warned Egyptians to stay away from polling centers, The Associated Press reported on February 12. The suspects were arrested during sweeping operations in central and North Sinai.

The dead jihadists had been "hiding inside a house in the vicinity of El-Arish city (North Sinai province's capital) following a shoot-out", spokesperson Colonel Tamer al-Rifai said in the statement.

Moreover, the statement asserted that another six vehicles and 13 motorbikes used by militants were destroyed.
