The terrorists abducted the man from his workplace near the city of Bir al-Abd in the northern part of Sinai. Amaq didn’t clarify when or where the execution took place.

ISIS cells are still fairly active in the Sinai Peninsula. In January, the terrorists blew up a Humvee vehicle of the Egyptian military to the west of Bir al-Abd with a heavy improvised explosive device. Five service members, including an officer, were killed in the attack.
Executions remains one of ISIS’ favorite tactics to terrorize and subdue people living in its area of influence. Last year, the terrorist group cells in the Sinai Peninsula executed many people.
