EGYPTIAN army forces have killed the military commander of the al-Tawhid Wal Jihad group in Sinai, military spokesman Colonel Ahmed Ali says.
Ahmed Hamdan Harb al-Maneiy, also known as Abu Mariam, was killed in the northern Sinai town of al-Mahdiya during anti-jihad operations, Ali said.
"The military was able to kill three Islamist figures, including Abu Mariam, in an exchange of fire between the militants and the army," he added.
There have been regular attacks by militants in the Sinai peninsula since the uprising that overthrew long-term president Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
They have intensified since the military deposed president Mohamed Morsi in July.
In August, the military launched a major campaign against Islamist militants in the region, the second in as many years.
But local residents have complained of unjustified arrests and strikes on civilian buildings.
Al-Tawhid Wal Jihad is one of several jihadist groups active in Sinai, including Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which claimed responsiblity for several attacks targeting police forces in different provinces across Egypt.
