Egyptian Soldier Killed in Border Clash with Israeli Forces

An Egyptian soldier was killed in a border incident with Israeli troops near Rafah, amid heightened tensions following Israel's control of the Gazan side of the Rafah crossing. Both militaries are investigating, with no Israeli casualties reported. Egypt condemned a recent Israeli strike on Rafah that killed at least 45 people, accusing Israel of targeting civilians. Despite a longstanding peace deal, relations between Egypt and Israel remain strained, though deadly incidents are rare.
