CAIRO – Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi said Saturday that treacherous attacks would not undermine the determination of the State, people and Armed Forces to continue their war aiming to uproot terrorism.
Egypt’s loyal sons are still fulfilling their duty with full courage and sacrifice and with unique self-denial and unshakable faith in the homeland preservation doctrine, the President tweeted in his first official response to a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of a police officer and ten security personnel in addition to five other people in Sinai earlier today.
Sisi offered condolences to the families of the victims, and the Egyptian people for the martyrs, wishing those injured in the attack a speedy recovery.

مازال أبناء الوطن من المخلصين يلبو نداء وطنهم بكل الشجاعة والتضحية مستمرين في إنكار فريد للذات وايمان لن يتزعزع بعقيدة صون الوطن،
وأؤكد لكم أن تلك العمليات الارهابية الغادرة لن تنال من عزيمة واصرار أبناء هذا الوطن وقواته المسلحة في استكمال اقتلاع جذور الارهاب.
