IDF exchange with Egyptian troops set off by firefight with Gazans — Egyptian report
A firefight between Israeli and Egyptian soldiers on the Gaza border was triggered by an exchange of gunfire “between Israeli forces and members of the Palestinian resistance, which led to shooting in several directions,” a high-level source tells Egypt’s state-linked Al Qahera News, citing a preliminary investigation.
The source says Egypt will take necessary measures to prevent the incident from recurring, and has warned against compromising the security and safety of its security forces, al-Qahera reports.
