An Egyptian policeman shot and killed two Israeli tourists in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria on Sunday, according to reports citing the interior ministry. An Egyptian civilian was also killed in the shooting before the policeman was detained.
The Israeli foreign ministry said a third Israeli had been injured in the attack and was in a “moderate” condition, and that it was working with the Egyptian authorities to repatriate the Israeli citizens as quickly as possible.
The foreign ministry did not identify the Israelis involved but said the Egyptian who was killed had been their tour guide as they visited a Roman site in the city.
