An Egyptian military court has sentenced 11 supporters of deposed Islamist president Mohammed Mursi to life in prison on charges of attacking the army, a military source said.
The men were accused of wounding seven soldiers by throwing petrol bombs at military buildings in the city of Suez on 14 August.
On that day, one of the bloodiest in Egypt's modern history, security forces crushed Cairo protest camps demanding Mr Mursi's reinstatement, triggering clashes across the country.
Hundreds of people were killed, including dozens of policemen.
The army-backed government has been widening its crackdown on Islamists.
Top leaders of Mr Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood have been put on trial on charges of inciting violence.
More than 1,000 people have been killed since the army toppled Egypt's first freely elected president on 3 July, after mass protests against his rule.
Up to 15 dead in rocket attack in Sinai Peninsula
Egyptian army helicopters are said to have attacked militant strongholds in the Sinai Peninsula.
State television reported that up to fifteen "militants" had been killed by the rocket fire.
The state-run Nile TV gave no further details in a brief report.
The army helicopters had targeted two villages south of Sheikh Zuweid, a town near the border with Israel and Hamas-run Gaza.
An army source said a ground operation was under way with air cover, but declined to give further details because it is still continuing.
Security sources said government helicopter strikes had killed at least eight armed men and wounded 15, and had been aimed at stores of arms and explosives in the Sinai.
Militant attacks on security forces in the lawless North Sinai region have risen since 3 July.
Growing insecurity in Sinai worries the United States and others because the region is bounded not only by Israel and Gaza but also by the Suez Canal, a major global shipping artery.
Last Saturday, attackers fired at a ship passing through the Canal.
