On April 11, 2022, Egyptian security forces operating in northern Sinai found and neutralized an underbelly IED buried underground. The IED consisted of a number of old anti-tank shells converted into an IED to which a pressure plate cased in a plastic pipe was connected. These AT rounds, which have a hollow charge warhead, were positioned in a hole in the ground with the hollow charge pointing toward the targeted armored vehicle (upward.) Recently, changes have been observed in the structure of the IEDs, and in the attack TTPs employed in the northern Sinai/Egyptian arena, which include booby-trapping buildings, with the IEDs incorporating homemade explosives or HE sourced from recycled old ammunition and UXO.
