re: #314 Killgore Trout

It’s legit. Defense Minister Ehud Barak apologized for the deaths of the Egyptian security officers.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Saturday said that “Israel regrets the deaths of Egyptian policemen [killed] during the terror attack on the Israeli-Egyptian border,”

Speaking during a security briefing with Chief of General Staff Benny Gantz, Barak said that “the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt is of great importance and strategic value for the stability of the Middle East.”

The defense minister was expected to open a military investigation into the deaths of Egyptian forces in the border incident. Later, a joint investigation with the Egyptian military will be launched in order to clarify the circumstances of the incident.
