A PRELIMINARY Israeli army investigation has found that troops apparently killed three Egyptian soldiers they mistook for Palestinian militants along
the Gaza-Egypt border, a Foreign Ministry official said.
If Egyptian soldiers were the victims, than Israel regretted the incident, Mr Regev said.
The incident could cause tension between the two former enemies. Israel and Egypt signed a peace agreement in 1979, but have often had shaky
relations.

Shooting across borders is illegal. I don't expect any penalties are given out to the soldiers. Neither should they be given any penalties.
Afterall, they are at war against terror. -Right? Even if they wore colourful uniforms with flashing light, they should be shot at. Who knows, maybe
the terrorists dress up as foreign soldiers too.
