Families are leaving the region’s largest city El-Arish after a Coptic Christian was shot dead in front of his wife and children in the latest attack.

Militants stormed 40-year-old Kamel Youssef’s home and killed him before reportedly setting the house on fire.

The violence comes days after a father and son were slaughtered and six more Coptic Christians have been killed in El-Arish in the last month.

Christians have reported family members being killed on their way to work with shootings on the increase.

Ishak Ibrahim, researcher at the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights, said: “What we are seeing here is new. There has always been violence against Christians but it was usually for a ‘reason’ like land disputes. Now Christians are killed just for being Christians.”

ISIS has also released a chilling propaganda video in which it threatens to increase attacks against Christians in Egypt and to “liberate” Cairo in a video released last month.

The 20-minute video names wealthy Christian businessmen and individuals as the jihadis’ “favourite prey” forcing at least 175 families to flee North Sinai.
