Egyptian security forces killed 16 suspected militants in two separate raids in the city of Arish in North Sinai, state-run Al Ahram said on Tuesday.
The two sides were involved in exchanges of fire, it said.
Meanwhile, the death toll from a late-night suicide blast near Cairo's famed tourist market rose to three today after a police officer died of his wounds, Egyptian security officials said.
All three fatalities in the attack late Monday near Khan El Khalili bazaar in the heart of Cairo were policemen. The explosion also wounded two other policemen and a woman, the officials said.
The Interior Ministry said the attacker, identified as 37-year-old Al Hassan Abdullah, blew up his explosives after police officers approached him with the intention to arrest him.
The man was wanted in a bombing last Friday near a mosque in Cairo's district of Giza and the police had been monitoring his movements, the statement said. The attacker's affiliation was not known and no militant group claimed responsibility for the bombings.
Following Monday's explosion, which shattered windows and blew curtains off nearby balconies, Egyptian police and soldiers cordoned off the narrow streets around the bazaar. A body, covered with a white sheet stained with blood, was seen lying on the ground in the blocked-off area, close to Egypt's renowned Al Azhar mosque.
In a house nearby, police found a bomb and bomb-making material, which prompted the evacuation of the whole building, said the security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to talk to the media.
