And going into that general area (Sinai) is consider a DO NOT TRAVEL area 24/7 365 days a year due to terrorism, so anybody going into that region should know better anytime of the year, or they need to stay at home.

Depends who you ask. The UK doesn't have a "do not travel" on most of where tourists would typically visit in the Sinai -- Mt Sinai, Sharm, Nuweiba, Taba, etc.

The US is more conservative, as always, and says to avoid the Sinai other than flying into Sharm.

I just talked to someone I "know" who lives in Cairo. Nothing is happening there other than the border with Gaza. Just stay away from the border.
An Egyptian contact of mine in the UK said exactly the same.

Well, some activity going on in Sinai. Reports of projectiles hitting the town of Taba/Nuweiba on the Red Sea, with injuries. That's why all the cruise ships canceled their itineraries for the coming month in that area. But, you can go there if you like😁
