Egypt's armed forces say hundreds of militants have been killed in a massive operation since February 2018 to drive out Islamic State (IS) and other jihadist groups linked to them in the Sinai Peninsula. Note that Sinai is a province of Egypt bordering Israel and Gaza.

According to media reports, the Egyptian military often reports killing militants in their operations. The country's Sinai province is home to the Middle East-based international militant group Islamic State and other jihadist organizations.

It should be noted that recently the head of ISIS in Syria, Baghdadi, was killed in the US operation. After the death of Baghdadi, the whole world breathed a sigh of relief. Still, there is no end to fear among people. The whole world is vocal against terrorism.
