The blast occurred on Palm Day, a Christian feast commemorating the entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem.
Earlier in the day, one blast hit a church in Tanta; another blast targeted a police station in the same city later.
There were lots of people in both churches — they came to join the divine service.
On December 11, a strong blast hit the Coptic Christian cathedral complex in Cairo, killing 25 and wounding 49 people. Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack.
