Army spokesperson Tamer al-Refaei said that the army’s ground troops discovered and destroyed two four-wheeled vehicles, and a motorbike used by terrorists.

The armed forces discovered and destroyed five storehouses, inside of which lay a large quantity of explosive devices, logistics, fuel, and materials used in manufacturing improvised explosive devices, Refaei said.

He added that the forces seized a truck loaded with a large amount of spare parts of motorbikes and materials used in manufacturing improvised explosive devices.
