In the biggest camp in northeast Cairo, security forces fired tear gas as police helicopters circled in the air and military vehicles stationed near the camp.
The state news agency said security forces have begun to implement a phased plan to disperse the protesters, who almost certainly will deepen the political turmoil in Egypt.
A witness named Ahshur Abid told Reuters news agency said, as many as 15 people were killed when the purge began. He said looking at their bodies in a hospital courtyard in one camp.

However, Egypt's Health Ministry said there were no reports of deaths so far in the current crackdown by the security forces it.
More than 300 people have been killed in political violence since the army overthrew Mursi last July 3. The figure includes dozens of supporters Mursi who was killed by security forces in two separate incidents earlier.
Mursi became leader of Egypt's first freely elected in June 2012. However, he failed to address the deepening economic downturn and worried many Egyptians with its looks bright to implement strict Islamic law.
One member of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was shot dead on Tuesday (08/13/2013) local time, in the midst of the ongoing protests over the ouster of Egyptian President Muhammad Mursi. Alleged shooting of plainclothes security officers were also wounded 11 others.

This war game has also been canceled in 2011 when the revolution toppled Hosni Mubarak's happening in the country.
So far, the Obama administration has not mentioning the overthrow of Mohammad Mursi as a military coup.
Therefore, if the U.S. military said Egypt has overthrown a democratically elected leader then as a consequence the U.S. should stop all aid to Egypt.
"Although we do not believe that violence is a solution to resolve political differences, since the military intervention a few weeks ago, there are still peluangn reconciliation and the chance to return to the path of democracy," Obama said.
"However, we actually see the dangerous path taken through various detentions, forcible dissolution of Mursi supporters, and now the tragic violence that claimed hundreds of lives," Obama added.
Egypt gripped by a political crisis since the military overthrew Mohammed Mursi, the president of the country's first democratically elected, on July 3.
