Jedar is a compound located in the North Sinai Governorate of Egypt. It is located near the town of El Arish, which is located on the Mediterranean coast. The compound was built in the late 1990s and is used as a military base by the Egyptian Armed Forces.

The compound is made up of several buildings, including a command center, barracks, and an airfield. The compound also houses a number of military vehicles, including tanks, armored personnel carriers, and helicopters. The compound is surrounded by a wall and is guarded by military personnel.

The compound has been used by the Egyptian Armed Forces since the early 2000s and has seen action during the Sinai insurgency. In October 2018, the compound was the target of a major attack by Islamist militants. The militants used rocket-propelled grenades and explosives to breach the compound’s walls and gain access to the facility. The Egyptian Armed Forces were able to repel the attack and no casualties were reported.

The compound is seen as a symbol of Egyptian military strength in the region and is a reminder of the country’s resolve to maintain security in the Sinai. The compound is also a reminder of the threat posed by Islamist militants in the region, who have targeted Egyptian military bases and personnel in the past.
