*“A police officer in Alexandria opened fire indiscriminately with his personal weapon on a group of Israeli tourists (...). Two tourists were killed, as well as an Egyptian, and the police officer was arrested,”* Extra News television reported, citing a *“security source.”*

Egypt, a neighbour of Israel and an essential mediator in every new outbreak of violence between Israel and Gaza, with which it also shares a border, was the first Arab country to normalise relations with Israel in 1979.
