An Egyptian court has listed the Palestinian group Hamas, which controls the Gaza strip, as a terrorist organisation, accusing it of supporting an insurgency in northern Sinai. The ruling comes a month after a different court labelled the armed wing of Hamas as a terrorist group.
The court ruling on Saturday effectively bans Hamas within Egypt.
"It has been proven without any doubt that the movement has committed acts of sabotage, assassinations and the killing of innocent civilians and members of the armed forces and police in Egypt," Judge Mohamed el-Sayed said, according to state news agency Mena.
