CAIRO: The Egyptian military, in cooperation with the Federation of Sinai Tribes, has killed a Daesh leader in the village of Gelbana in North Sinai.
Hamza Adel Al-Zamili, a Palestinian, was considered one of the most prominent leaders of Daesh’s Sinai branch.
He was born in 1992 and infiltrated Sinai from the Gaza Strip, joining Daesh with his brother, who was killed in fighting against the Egyptian military.
Al-Zamili reportedly fled Gaza after being accused of shoplifting and drug trafficking. He planned the massacre at Al-Rawda Mosque in North Sinai in November 2017, which resulted in the deaths of 305 people, including 27 children.
