The military spokesman for the Egyptian Armed Forces had stated that the Armed Forces were conducting an investigation by the competent authorities regarding the shooting incident in the Rafah border area. Which led to the martyrdom of one of the officers in charge of insurance.
In a story that raised widespread skepticism, an Egyptian security source told the “Cairo News” channel affiliated with the intelligence service that preliminary investigations indicate that gunfire broke out between members of the Israeli occupation forces and members of the Palestinian resistance.
The source continued, according to the channel, that this led to the opening of fire in several directions, and the Egyptian insurance element took protective measures and dealt with the source of the fire.

The security source explained that the international community must bear its responsibilities regarding the seriousness of the explosive situation on the Egyptian border with Gaza and the Philadelphia axis, not only for security purposes, but also for the paths of the flow of humanitarian aid.
On the other hand, the Israeli army said earlier that it was investigating reports of an exchange of fire between Israeli and Egyptian soldiers.
The occupation described what happened as an exchange of fire that undermined the alleged Egyptian narrator, who came through “Cairo News.”
The occupation army added in a statement, “A shooting incident occurred on the Egyptian border. The incident is under review and discussions are being held with the Egyptians.”
Israeli Army Radio revealed new details about the shooting incident that occurred between the Egyptian and Israeli sides yesterday, Monday, at the Rafah crossing.
The radio continued: "Israel has clear documentation of the incident, in which an Egyptian soldier was seen shooting at army forces. It is possible that the video will also be transferred to the Egyptian side as part of the joint investigation. Only one Egyptian soldier opened fire in the incident, and no one else."
She noted: “The Egyptian soldier stood on a high point near the Philadelphia axis, where he observed the army forces from a close distance of about 100-200 meters, and opened fire.”
She noted: “In the last day, many talks took place between officials in the Israeli army and Shin Bet and their counterparts on the Egyptian side. Both Israel and Egypt are trying to keep the event out of the limelight, and there is a common understanding between the two sides that are trying to close the event.”
Yesterday, the Egyptian army announced the killing of an Egyptian soldier on the border with Rafah, confirming the opening of an investigation into the incident. At these moments, the soldier's funeral ceremony is taking place to his final resting place.
Yesterday, Egyptian media quoted a source as saying that Cairo “warns against compromising the security and safety of Egyptian security personnel deployed on the border,” after the shooting between Egyptian and Israeli soldiers in Rafah.
The killing of the Egyptian soldier raised fears of pushing the region into an all-out war. Especially in light of the unprecedented tension in Egyptian-Israeli relations.
In turn, the Egyptian military spokesman said: “The Egyptian Armed Forces are conducting an investigation by the competent authorities into the shooting incident in the Rafah border area, which led to the martyrdom of one of the personnel in charge of insurance.”
Maariv said that the Egyptian soldier opened fire on an Israeli military force, wounding soldiers from the 401st Armored Brigade, which responded by shooting and killing him.
The Hebrew newspaper added that Israel was quick to conduct dialogue and coordination with Egypt so that the incident would not develop into a complex process.
The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed that intensive communications took place between Egypt and Israel following the incident, to prevent the matter from developing and causing a disaster that would lead to the severing of relations between the two countries.
Yedioth explained that during the talks that took place between an Israeli officer and an Egyptian official, it was agreed to keep the issue “out of the limelight.”
Another security source in Egypt said that he asked Egyptian army reporters to "stay away from this issue."
He pointed out that censorship is also in effect on the Israeli side "to prevent publications that would arouse anger on the other side."
The Hebrew newspaper confirmed that Egypt and Israel are currently conducting a separate investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
