The latest arrivals take Ittihad's total number of summer signings to 17 under newly appointed coach Hamza El-Gamal.
The Alexandrian club have signed three players from Ceramica Cleopatra: goalkeeper Ali El-Gabry on a four-year contract, midfielder Mohamed Tony on a three-year deal, and midfielder Nour Alaa on a season-long loan.
Ittihad also signed midfielder Habib Ahmed Hassan from Smouha on a two-year contract.
Defender Islam Abdallah joined on a season-long loan from ZED FC, with an option to make the move permanent, while winger Yousri Waheed arrived from National Bank of Egypt (NBE) Club on a one-year loan.
The six additions follow an already busy recruitment drive that included the signings of Mido Mostafa from Smouha, Mohamed Fakhry from Pharco FC, striker Hossam Hassan from Modern Sport, and Khaled Massaad, Abdel-Rahman Hisham, and Ahmed El-Shazly.
"I am satisfied with the structure of the squad since taking charge of Ittihad. I have fulfilled the promise I made to the club's board and supporters by lowering the team's average age and promoting the club's young players, integrating them into the first team to build a promising future for the club," El-Gamal said.
"I am building a team for Ittihad that will serve as a foundation for a bright future and be capable of competing in every competition the club takes part in," he added.
The club also brought in Haras El-Hodoud right-back Moemen Awad, former Ahly defender Moataz Mohamed on a free transfer, Ahmed Hamdi from Zamalek, Ahmed El-Arabi from Ghazl El-Mahalla, and Ugandan midfielder Kenneth Simakula.
Meanwhile, Ittihad have parted ways with several first-team players, including Karim El-Deeb, Mahmoud Shabana, veteran goalkeeper Mahmoud "Gennesh" Abdel-Rahim, Abdel-Ghani Mohamed, Amr Khalil, Amr Gomaa, Mohamed "Kanaria" Metwally, and Angolan striker Cristóvão Mabululu.
