Two schools in Zagazig have been named after two soldiers who had been killed in a security operation against terrorism in Sinai.

Conscripts Ahmed Rajab and Ahmed Mohamed were killed when a bomb hit their armored vehicle in Arish, the capital of North Sinai.

A decision was taken to name two schools after them in appreciation of their sacrifices in defending Egypt, Sharqiya Governor Reda Abdel-Salam said in a statement.
