Jerusalem - Two more bodies were recovered from the rubble of the Taba Hilton on Saturday, bringing to 32 the number of confirmed dead after a series of bomb attacks on resorts in Egypt's Sinai peninsula, the Israeli military said.

"Twenty-seven of the victims are apparently Israeli and the five others are foreign," said an army spokesperson, adding that rescuers were continuing to sift through debris at the hotel and more bodies may be found.

So far 30 people have been confirmed killed in the Taba bombing, and another two dead in bomb attacks on a backpacker resort further down the coast.
