The “very unusual incident” reportedly, according to Israeli sources, began when Egyptian forces opened fire upon an IDF truck, prompting the IDF to return fire. One Egyptian soldier was apparently killed, as well as several injured, in the exchange of fire. No casualties have been reported on the Israeli side.
