Three Israeli soldiers and an Egyptian security officer were killed near the countries' border in a rare incident that the countries said they are investigating jointly
The Israeli military said an Egyptian policeman shot and killed two of its soldiers while they secured a military post at the Egyptian border early on Saturday, after forces successfully thwarted a large smuggling attempt overnight.
Egypt's military said the three Israeli and one Egyptian security personnel had been killed in an exchange of fire as the Egyptian security officer chased smugglers across the frontier. The Israeli military said it was unclear how the Egyptian officer crossed the border fence and soldiers were searching the area to rule out additional assailants.
Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said he conducted an assessment with the chief of staff and that the military "will investigate the event as required".
