ALWAGHT- According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, quoting Egyptian officials, the Egyptian military has directed its troops to retaliate with gunfire towards Zionist soldiers.
The Wall Street Journal, an American newspaper, reported: "With recent deployments of its soldiers along Gaza's southern border, Tel Aviv prompted the Egyptian army to direct its border troops to return fire if Israeli soldiers shoot. Egypt has also cautioned Israel that any threat to the country's security will prompt Cairo to respond militarily.
Quoting Egyptian officials, the newspaper highlighted that should the border control strategy fail, Egypt will cut its relations with Israel entirely.
It's noteworthy that on May 27th, several Hebrew media sources covered an "unprecedented and unusual" incident at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the southern Gaza Strip, involving an exchange of gunfire between Israeli soldiers and Egyptians.
These media sources alleged that Egyptian soldiers at the Rafah crossing fired spontaneously towards Israeli army forces.
Shortly after the news broke, the Egyptian military reported that during the incident, one of its soldiers named "Abdullah Ramadan Ashri" was killed.
The death of this Egyptian soldier sparked concerns about the potential escalation of conflict in the region, particularly given the unprecedented tension in Egyptian-Israeli relations.
