Three Egyptians have been sentenced to death for their involvement in the October 2004 bombings at a Red Sea coast resort which killed 34 people.
A judge at the Ismailiya emergency state security court sentenced Younes Mohammed Mahmoud, Osama al-Nakhlawi and Mohammed Jaez Sabbah on Thursday.
The three were convicted and sentenced to death for terrorism, murder, illegal possession of weapons, and belonging to a terrorist group.
Two other defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment and another eight defendants received five to 15 years for lesser roles in the attacks.
Ahmed Seif el-Islam, a defence lawyer, criticised the sentences as being "unjust".
Eleven Israelis were killed and more than 100 people wounded in the bombings, which destroyed a wing of the Taba Hilton hotel in October 2004.
The blasts included the explosion of a vehicle at Ras Shitan, a Red Sea resort south of Taba.
In state security courts, the accused do not have the right of appeal. They may appeal only to Hosni Mubarak, the Egyptian president, for clemency.
