Five ISIS militants were killed in a targeted air strike, military sources said.
Dramatic footage shows the terrorists’ Egyptian desert hideout being obliterated by an army missile.
The strike on Thursday came hours after the militants had attempted to attack a military checkpoint in north Sinai.
The terrorists had been spotted by soldiers guarding the spot, who opened fire prompting them to flee.
Fighter jets were then sent out to locate them and found them regrouping at their hideout.
Video filmed from one of the planes showed a missile hitting one of the buildings, sending a huge fireball into the sky.
An army spokesman told the Egyptian Independent that six other ISIS militants were injured and two buildings and vehicles were destroyed in the blast.
Egyptian forces have been battling the terror organisation since 2014 and have recently launched a large-scale military campaign in Sinai Province.
The operation has seen several leading terror figures killed.
