ISRAEL'S TREACHEROUS FRIEND, EGYPT

IDF kills 2 Egyptian officers on border (YNet)
Two Egyptian policemen were killed Friday morning in a fire incident with the Israel Defense on the Israel-Egypt border, near Mount Sagi. At first, IDF officials believed that the two were terrorists dressed as Egyptian security personnel, but Israeli security forces later confirmed that the two were Egyptian police officers.

Armor Corps spotted three men wearing Egyptian uniforms infiltrating Israel from Egypt on the central part of the border. The gunmen opened fire and attacked the soldiers. The troops fired back, killing two of the terrorists, while the third one fled back to Egypt. An initial investigation into the incident revealed that the three men crossed 150 meters into Israel. Their bodies have been handed over to Egypt, the army said.

Army officials estimated the policemen had planned to hurt the soldiers and then continue toward one of the roads and carry out a shooting attack at Israeli vehicles.
