The Muslim Brotherhood issued a statement urging the “Egyptian people to rise up against those who want to steal their revolution.” Brotherhood headquarters in Cairo were shut down after weapons and other items were discovered inside. A soldier was killed by a sniper thought to belong to a jihadist group in the Sinai; another was stabbed by a jihadist. Authorities claimed to have arrested 14 jihadists in the Sinai.
