| Egyptian soldier wounded in cross-border shooting |
| 2002-05-09 |
| An Egyptian soldier has been wounded in cross-border shooting from the Israeli-controlled Gaza Strip. The soldier, Dessouki Ahmed Eissa, 22, was hit in the thigh by a bullet from the Israeli side on Wednesday. He has been admitted to hospital in Rafah, on Egypt's border with the Gaza. There was no immediate word from Israel on the shooting. An Egyptian security official said it is not clear what caused the shooting and whether it was intentional. Wonder what the circumstances of that one were? The IDF tries to avoid things like that. |
