CAIRO/JERUSALEM - Drones caused explosions that rocked two Egyptian towns on the Red Sea on Friday (Oct 27), the Egyptian army said, while Israel said Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement sent them to strike Israel. The explosions injured six people and illustrated the risk of regional spillover from the Israel-Gaza conflict. There was no claim of responsibility. Israel's foreign ministry said.
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Saturday urged all to respect Egypt's sovereignty and position in the region following incidents on Friday where drones fell on two Egyptian Red Sea towns. Egyptians should feel safe and the army is able to protect the country, Reuters quoted Sisi saying at a manufacturing expo in Cairo. He also emphasized that Egypt would continue to play a positive role in the Israel-Hamas conflict and did not want it to expand regionally.
