Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemns the attack carried out by a group of militants on an Egyptian navy vessel in Sinai Peninsula during the fight that took place between a group of terrorist and forces responsible for maintaining security along the Mediterranean Sea opposite to Rafah.
In this regard, Al-Azhar Al-Sharif condemns all acts of violence targeting the Egyptian Armed Forces, stressing that they all are never related to the merciful teachings of Islam, which reject all acts of terrorism.
In this context, Al-Azhar emphatically asks the Egyptians to unite behind the armed forces in facing the dangers that threaten Egypt in such crucial time. Al-Azhar also urge the international society to unite resist these terrorist groups that adopts terrorism and violence as an approach to destroy the people's life and to undermine security of nations, asking Allah, the Almighty, to protect Egypt veteran soldiers who are awake all night for the sake of protecting Egypt borders, maintaining its security and keeping its people safe.
