On Sunday, six gunmen in northern Sinai Peninsula planted explosives in the pipeline that supplies natural gas to Israel and Jordan, but soldiers at the gas terminal managed to defuse the devices, a Press TV correspondent reported.
The Egyptian Natural Gas Company (GASCO) said the gas supply to Israel remains intact.
The pipeline, running from El Arish, northern Egypt, to Ashkelon in Israel, has been the subject of attacks since the Egyptian revolution that started on January 25 and resulted in the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak on February 11.
Although the gas flow was stopped during the unrest in the African nation, supplies were resumed on March 16.
Earlier in 2008, a court in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, had overruled an Egyptian government's decision to allow gas exports to Israel, but Mubarak's government ignored the rulings.
Since 2008, Egypt has been providing 40 percent of Israel's gas needs despite nationwide discontent over the issue, especially after the revolution.
