Fatal Shooting at Egyptian Tourist Site Claims Lives of Israeli Tourists

Two Israeli tourists and their Egyptian guide were killed by an Egyptian police officer at the ancient Roman site Pompey's Pillar in Alexandria. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, but the officer claimed to have lost control after being provoked by the tour group. Another person was injured, and the shooter has been taken into custody. The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Hamas, with Israel declaring war on the Palestinian terror group. Pro-Palestinian sentiments in Egypt have often led to tensions with visiting Israelis.

Fatal Shooting at Egyptian Tourist Site: 2 Israelis and 1 Egyptian Killed

Another person was wounded in the attack, and the suspected assailant has been detained. Security forces cordoned off the site, and amateur videos showed ambulances transporting the victims.
