Former president Mohammed Morsi and 35 others were charged with conspiring with foreign groups, including Hamas and Hezbollah, to conduct terror attacks in Egypt. The public prosecutor also accused the Muslim Brotherhood of carrying out attacks in North Sinai against security personnel since Morsi's ouster. Defense Minister el Sisi met with some Sinai-based leaders, while a military source said 97 percent of tunnels between Gaza and Rafah have been destroyed. Security forces raided an apartment linked to militants in Shorouq City, but no arrests were made. Security forces operating in North Sinai killed two Islamist militants after being attacked.
