Significance
There has been no claim of responsibility. Nearly six years after mass protests forced the departure of long-time dictator Hosni Mubarak, Egypt still struggles with instability and insecurity as militant groups operate throughout the country.
Impacts
Egyptian security forces, particularly those in North Sinai, can expect to receive the brunt of the insurgency.
Wilayat Sinai will also hinder Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) operations.
The insecurity and economic uncertainty will hinder the recovery of Egypt’s tourism sector.
