The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas] issued a statement Saturday about the attack that targeted an Egyptian army convoy in the north of Egypt's Sinai region on Saturday morning.
Hamas said in a press statement that this "heinous crime" is aimed at dragging the region into more violence and thwarting any effort to achieve stability.
Hamas extended deep condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery for those injured.
At least 15 Egyptian soldiers were killed or wounded when an army post was attacked in Sinai by a group of gunmen.
