Egyptian gunmen allegedly opened fire on a tour bus containing a group of Israeli tourists at the Pompey Pillar Site in Alexandria. As a result, the two Israeli tourists died.
The Russian news agency RT reported that not only the two tourists, an Egyptian citizen also lost his life in the attack.
Quoting AFP, the shooting was carried out by Egyptian Police who were carried out “randomly” using their “personal weapons” towards an Israeli tour group visiting Alexandria.
