Mass Grave of Egyptian Soldiers Discovered

The remains of 30 Egyptian soldiers buried in a mass grave in Sheikh Zuayed, not far from the Egypt - Gaza border. The bodies are believed to be from the 1967 Six Day War and an investigation is underway to determine if these soldiers were executed or casualties of battle.

This discovery is in addition to another mass grave of Egyptian soldiers discovered near Eilat.

There is speculation that Israeli troops executed some Egyptian POW's during the war in 1967.

I will be very interested to see what information surfaces as a result of the investigation.
