{{At least 24 Egyptian policemen have been killed in an ambush attack in the Sinai peninsula, say reports.}}
Medical sources and officials said the police were in two buses which came under attack from armed men close to the town of Rafah on the Gaza border.
Three policemen were also reported to have been injured in the blast.
The military recently intensified a crackdown against militants in Sinai, where attacks have surged since the fall of Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
Egyptian deployments in Sinai are subject to the 1979 peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
