Two Israeli Tourists, Local Guide Killed in Egypt

Two Israeli tourists and their Egyptian guide were shot dead on Sunday in the Egyptian city of Alexandria, according to the Israeli foreign ministry. Reuters reported a policeman alleged to have carried out the shooting in the Sawari district of Alexandria was in custody. This marks the first attack on Israelis in Egypt in decades. The shooting happened one day after an assault against Israel by Islamist group Hamas, for which Israel vowed "mighty vengeance" in response. The recent escalation has already claimed the lives of hundreds of Palestinians and Israelis. For more, VOA’s Douglas Mpuga spoke to political analyst David Monda.
