Shooting near border of Rafah kills an Egyptian guard

An Egypt security officer has been shot and killed near the Rafah border crossing. The military is now investigating the incident.

Israel’s army is looking into reports of the gunfire between Israeli and Egyptian soldiers.

“A shooting happened on the Egyptian border a few hours ago on Monday. ” The situation is being looked into and talks are happening with the Egyptians, the Israeli military said in a statement.

Israel took over the Rafah border crossing from Gaza recently while they were fighting in the area. Egypt didn’t like this and said it was wrong.

Egypt is afraid that the people in southern Gaza might have to leave because of the attack. They also say that Israel is not letting enough aid get to Gaza, but Israel says this is not true.

Egypt and Israel agreed to stop fighting in 1979 and started working together to keep their borders safe. They especially focus on the areas between Israel, Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, and the Gaza Strip. They together stopped things from going in or out of Gaza after Hamas took over in 2007.

There have been very few times when there were problems with safety between the two countries.

In October 2023, two weeks after the war in Gaza began, Israel said one of its tanks accidentally hit an Egyptian position near the Gaza border. Egypt said that some Egyptian border guards got hurt, but not badly.

In June 2023, three soldiers from Israel and one security officer from Egypt were killed in a fight at the border.
