埃及安全官员说,在激进分子袭击埃及检查站后,埃及军队攻击了西奈半岛的激进嫌疑分子。

有关官员说,星期三的空袭打死20名激进分子。

在埃及军队发动空袭的几小时前,阿里什市的检查站遭到袭击。阿里什距离以色列与加沙地带边界大约50公里。

在16名埃及边防守卫人员死于星期天的袭击后,埃及军方和埃及总统穆尔西誓言要加强边境地带的巡逻。埃及表示,发动袭击的激进分子试图越界进入以色列。

Egyptian security officials say the military has carried out an assault on suspected militants in the Sinai peninsula following new attacks against checkpoints.

Officials say the airstrikes Wednesday killed 20 militants.   

The strikes came hours after an attack against checkpoints in the city of El-Arish, about 50 kilometers from the border with Israel and the Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian military and President Mohamed Mursi had vowed to assert more control over the border area following an attack Sunday that killed 16 Egyptian border guards.  Egypt said militants involved in the attack were trying to cross into Israel.
