High Alert Along Israel-Egypt Border Over Attack Fears
By AFP
JERUSALEM

Israeli troops were on very high alert along the southern border with the Egyptian Sinai on Monday over fears a cell of gunmen had crossed the border into southern Israel, a security source told AFP.

The state of alert was based on “intelligence information about a cell of terrorists planning an attack” on a road which runs close to the border in the southern Negev desert, the source said.

The alert has been in place since Saturday, when the military contacted their Egyptian counterparts to pass on the information they had, he said.

The Israeli army had no immediate comment on the state of alert, saying only that the military “deploys its troops in accordance with ongoing security assessments.”
