Six armed men were killed on Thursday morning during their preparations to attack a checkpoint near the Arish Airport in the Sinai Peninsula.
Eyewitnesses said that a vehicle carrying six men stopped to launch an attack on security forces at a checkpoint in Arish but the targeted personnel opened fire on them, killing them immediately.
Ambulances rushed to the scene amid caution while army forces spread to secure the area.
Attacks by extremists have increased in Sinai since the ouster of President Mohamed Mursi.
