Israel-Hamas war: “Drone” injures six in Egyptian border town

Sudan Events – Sumaya Sayed

Six people were injured when a drone crashed early Friday into the Egyptian town of Taba, which borders Israel, a country at war with Palestinian Hamas in the Gaza Strip, the Egyptian army reported.

“An unidentified drone crashed on the outskirts of a building adjacent to Taba hospital on Friday, causing six minor injuries,” its spokesman said on Facebook.

Witnesses confirmed to AFP that the projectile had hit a hospital annex in this Red Sea town on the northeastern tip of Sinai, where there is a border crossing with Israel.

Egypt, the historic mediator between Palestinians and Israelis, which holds Gaza’s only gateway to the world that is not in Israeli hands, has been on the front line since 7 October.
