Gunshots fired at worshipers in Sinai

    Live ammunition rounds were fired at worshipers praying Asr in the capital city of Arish of the Egyptian governorate of North Sinai. Though the perpetrators are not clearly seen in the video clip, there are Egyptian army tanks visibly standing guard next to the congregation. Protests then followed and the people moved towards the armoured vehicles. The injured were immediately taken to Arish General Hospital.
