Egypt is in a war against terrorism that seeks to destabilize the country, the National Council for Women (NCW) said on Wednesday.

In a statement, the council mourned the slain servicemen, who were killed in terrorist attacks in North Sinai early on Wednesday.

The statement noted that Egypt's army and police are capable of uprooting terrorism and restoring stability to the country.

The council further urged the Egyptian people to reunite against such terrorist attacks.
