A well-placed Egyptian security source has denied a report in Israeli newspaper Israel Today claiming that Egyptian commandos killed three Egyptians during protests at the Israeli embassy in Cairo.
The report quotes Israeli Knesset Member Israel Hasson as saying that while the commandos rescued six employees in the Israeli embassy from large anti-Israel protests last September, the unit opened fire on the protesters, killing three and injuring others.
The source stressed that Hasson’s statements are completely false, saying that the army did not open fire on a single person during the protests on 9 September.
Following on from the prisoner swap that saw suspected spy Ilan Grapel, a dual US-Israeli citizen, traded for 25 Egyptians imprisoned in Israel freed, the source said that four Israeli spies are in Egyptian custody. Israel, the source added, is seeking to negotiate their release. Top of the list is Ouda Trabin, whom Israel wanted to include in the Grapel deal.
