Back in June, an Egyptian border guard killed three Israeli soldiers on the Israeli-Egyptian border
An Egyptian police officer opened fire on a group of Israeli tourists in Alexandria on 8 October, killing at least two Israelis and an Egyptian, reported Al-Jazeera.
According to RT Arabic, the police officer fired his weapon at the Israeli group of tourists around the area of Amoud al-Sawari, near Pompey’s Pillar Site.
A statement by the Egyptian Interior Ministry said that an additional person was also injured in the attack but gave no further details. However, the Israeli Foreign later identified the injured person as an Israeli who suffered moderate wounds.
The suspected assailant has reportedly been detained, according to Egyptian television channel Extra News.
All crossings at the Egyptian-Israeli border have reportedly been halted following the attack.

This comes as events between Palestinian resistance factions and Israel continue to escalate for the second day, after Hamas launched a massive offensive on the occupied territories under the name ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ on 7 October, catching the Israeli security and military establishment off guard.
Resistance fighters infiltrated the settlements of the occupied territories by land, air, and sea, descending on them using motorized paragliders.
In the process, Hamas took dozens of soldiers, settlers, and civilians as prisoners.
Hamas’ military wing, the Qassam Brigades, has launched thousands of rockets into Israel as its fighters infiltrated the settlements of the occupied territories, advancing while taking soldiers, settlers, and civilians as captives.
The number of prisoners held by the resistance is said to exceed 100.
Israel has declared war on Hamas, launching unrelenting airstrikes on densely populated residential areas in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Despite the outcome of the Camp David Accords, which saw Egypt normalize relations with Israel in 1979, strong anti-Israeli sentiment is shared by the large majority of the country.
Since the signing of the Camp David Accords, Egypt has played the role of mediator between Israel and the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.
