Supporters of former President Morsi held rallies in Cairo calling for his reinstatement. A policeman was killed in another attack by unidentified gunmen in the Sinai. The army claimed it thwarted a “wide-scale plot” to cause chaos and confusion. Military sources said operations against jihadists in the Sinai are expanding. The army dropped leaflets in Arish warning people to “not allow anyone who does not belong to this good earth to exchange violence with us or kill us.” Muslim Brotherhood officials may be linked to the August 2012 Rafah outpost attack that killed 16 Egyptian soldiers.
