He expressed appreciation to the residents of the cities of Suez , Ismailiya, and Port Said for supporting efforts by the military to restore security and stability and protect public and private property.

He pointed out that the security forces at the Suez Canal managed to abort a bid to smuggle petroleum products to Gaza Strip.
