Egyptian Interior Minister Mahmoud Tawfik vowed on Sunday that security agencies will continue their preemptive strikes against terrorist groups and members.

“The security forces will not waver in taking measures to protect Egypt’s security and stability,” he declared during a meeting at his ministry in Cairo.

“Terrorist attempts will not weaken Egypt’s determination,” he continued, while underlining the security measures that have been taken during the holiday season.

The security agencies will not be lenient in dealing with any violators of the order or law, Tawfik said.
