Spokesman for the Interior Ministry Hani Abdel Latif has praised Rafah residents after they welcomed to evacuate the border line with the Gaza Strip in order to create a buffer zone there.
Sinai residents dealt a powerful blow to terrorism by supporting the army and police forces, Abdel Latif told MENA.
He noted that the so-called Daesh and Ansar Beit Al-Maqdis lost their temper after Sinai residents welcomed to evacuate the border line
The conflicting statements by both groups prove that they are a cover for mercenary groups that have no principle, doctrine or religion, he said.
He noted that such statements aim at undermining Egypt's security forces after the State bodies have taken strong measures to combat terrorism.
