In an unusual development Egyptian soldiers fired on Israeli soldiers at the Rafah Crossing in Gaza on Monday. Israeli soldiers returned fire it was reported. But then a clash ensued between members of the two armies that resulted in the killing of one Israel soldier.
This piece of news was quickly quashed by the Israeli military censors according to the Al Jazeera Arabic channel but it was soon all over the social media with Israel’s Channel 13 and Channel 14 quickly confirming the news on the southern border of Gaza.
This is breaking news with the Israeli army saying it is opening up a full investigation into the incident that is almost certain to sour the already tense relations between Israel and Egypt over the possible invasion of Rafah by the Israeli army and which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists on.
No injuries were reported at the time but then clashes but it was later reported one Egyptian soldier killed and at least several injured. The Egyptian side said it was two in the middle of a full investigation to see exactly what happened.
