style=\"text-align: center;\">Eleven Egyptian soldiers were killed on<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Saturday attempting to thwart a &#8220;terrorist&#8221; attack on the Suez Canal zone<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">abutting the Sinai peninsula, a hotbed of jihadist activity, the army said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 It was the heaviest loss of life the army had suffered in years in its<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">long-running campaign in and around the Sinai against militants loyal to the<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Islamic State group.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Five soldiers were also wounded in the firefight on the eastern bank of<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the canal, the army said, adding security forces were &#8220;continuing to chase<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the terrorists and surround them in an isolated area of the Sinai&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 &#8220;These terrorist operations will not defeat the determination of the<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">country and the army to continue uprooting terrorism,&#8221; President Abdel Fattah<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">al-Sisi pledged on Facebook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Washington condemned the &#8220;terrorist attack in the Sinai targeting members<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">of the Egyptian military&#8221; and expressed its condolences to the victims&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">families.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 &#8220;For decades, the United States has been and remains Egypt&#8217;s strong<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">partner in confronting terrorism in the region,&#8221; State Department spokesman<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ned Price said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 Egypt&#8217;s Sinai Peninsula has been gripped by an armed insurgency for more<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">than a decade, which peaked after the ouster of late Islamist president<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mohammed Morsi in 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 In February 2018, the army and police launched a nationwide operation<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">against militants focused on North Sinai.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 More than a thousand suspected militants and dozens of security personnel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">have been killed since the start of operations, according to official<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">figures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 In November, Egypt agreed with Israel to boost its troop numbers around<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">the border town of Rafah to quell IS militants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 In August, the army said 13 militants had been killed and nine of its<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">soldiers were &#8220;killed or wounded&#8221; during clashes in the Sinai, without<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">indicating when the fighting had taken place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0\u00a0 In recent years, pipelines carrying Egyptian oil and gas to neighbouring<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Israel and Jordan have been the primary targets of insurgent attacks.<\/p>\n<p><a
