Three Israeli soldiers were killed in a rare burst of violence along Israel’s border with Egypt on Saturday. The suspected gunman was a member of Egyptian security forces who accidentally strayed into Israeli territory while in pursuit of a drug smuggler.
JERUSALEM — Three Israeli soldiers were killed in a rare burst of violence along Israel’s border with Egypt on Saturday, Israeli officials said. A suspected gunman, who was later killed in a shootout, was an Egyptian border guard who accidentally strayed into Israeli territory while in pursuit of drug smugglers, according to the Egyptian military.
The events of what Hecht called “a confusing morning” may have begun between 2 and 3 a.m. when Israeli soldiers foiled a smuggling attempt in which operatives on one side of the border barrier reportedly used ladders to pass contraband to the other. About $401,000 worth of illegal drugs were confiscated, the military said.
The incidents took place near the Nitzana border crossing, about 25 miles from the converging frontiers of Israel, Egypt and the Gaza Strip. Goods from Egypt destined for Israel or the Gaza Strip are imported through the crossing.
