Last week, a 22-year Egyptian border policeman killed two Israeli soldiers before sneaking through the highly equipped barbed barrier to exchange in a gun battle that led to his death, along with the killing of a third Israeli soldier.

According to the Walla report, Israeli soldiers said that they were unable to perform such long shifts under poor weather conditions.
