The Salloum Border Crossing, western Egypt, received 292 Egyptians over the past 24 hours, returning from Libya, including 129 who left the country illegally, Matrouh security director, Major General Anani Hamouda told Youm7 newspaper Friday. The 129 Egyptians who left the country illegally did not have any papers, but security forces allowed them to enter the country after checking their identities and criminal records, Hamouda said. Since February 16, 40 thousand and 691 Egyptians have returned home from Libya, after Egypt launched air raids on Islamic State's (IS) sites in Libya, in retaliation for the execution of 21 Egyptian Copts at the hands of the terrorist group, according to official statistics.
