group jihadists are spearheading an insurgency.

The man and his 17-year-old son were killed late Monday in the North Sinai provincial town of El-Arish, security officials and medics said.

The killings come weeks after Egypt's IS affiliate posted pictures online of two men it said were killed for spying for the military in the Sinai.
