Cairo, Egypt – (African Boulevard News) – An incident at the border between Israel and Egypt last week resulted in the deaths of three Israeli soldiers plus the attacker. The attack took place near the Israeli-Egyptian border, where an armed man reportedly approached the border from the Egyptian side and opened fire on Israeli soldiers.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has promised a full investigation into the incident. “We will not rest until we find out exactly what happened and who was responsible for this attack,” Bennett said in a statement.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported that the soldiers were on routine patrol when the attack took place. The attacker, who infiltrated the border from Egypt, was shot dead by IDF soldiers.
