Egypt authorities impose curfew in 2 North Sinai towns bordering Israel, Gaza Strip - state TV via @Reuters

Egyptian authorities have imposed?a curfew in two North Sinai towns on the border with Israel and?the Gaza Strip, state television reported on Friday.

The curfew applies to the towns of Sheikh Zuweid and Rafah,?it said, without elaborating.

Five Egyptian police officers were?gunned down in separate incidents on Friday in the North Sinai?town of El Arish, medical sources said, after gunmen?killed a soldier in a separate attack in a nearby town?overnight.

The police officers were shot by gunmen while they were?guarding a government building, a checkpoint on the southern?outskirts of the town, and the hospital, the sources said. ?

Egypt has struggled to control security in the Sinai?peninsula since the ousting of autocratic President Hosni?Mubarak in 2011.?
