Killing of 3 Israeli soldiers on the border of Egypt: women soldiers were also among the dead

An armed youth killed three Israeli soldiers on the Egyptian border on Saturday morning. A woman soldier is also included in the dead. The bodies of all three were found when the rest of the police officers reached the border area in search of them due to a lack of contact with them.
The strings of the incident are said to be related to the search operation being run against drug smugglers in Israel. According to the BBC report, before the killing of 3 soldiers, an operation was carried out against drug smugglers on the border of Egypt and Israel.
According to Israeli media, the attacker was an Egyptian policeman. Egypt is seriously investigating the matter. In fact, at 2 am on Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces seized drugs worth Rs 12 crore from this area by running an operation. The smugglers were trying to bring it to Israel with the help of stairs. The Defense Forces have not yet released the information about the soldiers who died. At the same time, earlier Israel Forces had said that the attacker could also be a member of the Islamic Jihad Organization.
Israel has been running operations in the border areas for a long time to stop the smuggling of drugs and weapons. Under this, two weeks ago even an MP from Israel and Jordan was arrested. Weapons and a considerable amount of gold were seized from him. MP Imad al-Adwan was reportedly accused of supporting Palestinian fighters.
