Israeli Tank Mishap Injures Multiple on Egyptian Border

At least seven people, including Egyptian border guards, were injured when shell fragments from an Israeli tank accidentally hit the Egyptian border near the Gaza Strip. The incident occurred just hours after a second convoy of aid trucks entered the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing to head towards Gaza. The incident could lead to further warnings from Cairo to Israel regarding its bombing of Gaza, which has been criticized for being indiscriminate and horrific.

Israeli military to punish officers over fatal Egyptian border attack.

The Israeli military will discipline three officers following a deadly attack on the Egyptian border that killed three soldiers earlier this month. An investigation found that a security gate was left unlocked, and soldiers were understaffed and overworked. Egypt had offered a different version of events, but Israel and Egypt have been at peace for over 40 years and have strong security cooperation.
