Expats union in France condemns Rafah terrorist attack

PARIS - 8 July 2017: The general union of the Egyptian community in France has deplored the terrorist attack that targeted on Friday morning a security checkpoint in Rafah city in North Sinai.

The attack left 26 army personnel dead and wounded.

These criminal operations present a clear evidence that Egypt's Armed Forces are "in a fierce war, in which they pay dearly to preserve the homeland," the union said in a statement.

The union also emphasized its full solidarity with the army, underlining the necessity of punishing those who support terrorism, whether they are individuals, organizations or countries.
