Two Israeli tourists and a local Egyptian sightseeing guide were murdered at a tourist site in Alexandria, the Israeli Foreign Ministry said.
It later emerged that the perpetrator turned out to be a police officer and used a personal firearm to shoot at Israeli tourists in the Pompeian Pillar area of Alexandria.
This morning during a tourist visit of a group of Israelis in Alexandria, Egypt, a local opened fired on them, as a result of which two Israeli citizens and the local Egyptian guide were murdered, said Israel’s foreign ministry
