Two Israelis were killed and another was wounded on Sunday by a police officer in Egypt, local media reported, amid Operation Al-Aqsa Flood that the Palestinian Resistance launched on Saturday against the Israeli occupation.

The police officer fired "at random" using "his personal weapon" at an Israeli tour group visiting the Amud el-Sawari area, in Alexandria, northern Egypt, the state-affiliated private television Extra News reported, quoting a security source.

The Egyptian police officer was "immediately arrested", it confirmed, adding that an Egyptian guide was also killed in the process.

The Israeli occupation Foreign Ministry confirmed the deaths in a statement.

"This morning during a visit of Israeli tourists in Alexandria, Egypt, a local opened fire at them, murdering two Israeli citizens," the statement read.

"In addition, there is a wounded Israeli in moderate condition."

This comes as al-Qassam Brigades confirmed in a statement that its Resistance fighters are still engaged in fierce confrontations in several locations in Gaza envelope settlements.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood

The Israeli occupation woke up at dawn Saturday to a sudden and widespread attack launched by the Palestinian Resistance into Gaza Envelope settlements, successfully taking Israeli occupation forces and illegal settlers captive while causing hundreds of fatalities among them, under an Operation dubbed Al-Aqsa Flood, in a huge intelligence flop.

Hours after the start of the operation, Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed in a recorded statement that "Israel" is "at war", adding that Hamas initiated "a surprise attack."

Earlier, Israeli media reported that unofficial estimates show that about 750 Israelis are still missing. The Israeli occupation Ministry of Health also announced that the death toll had risen to 350 and the wounded to 1,990, including 19 clinical deaths and 326 in serious condition, while Channel 13 indicated that the number of Israeli deaths is "only the tip of the iceberg compared to the real number."

On its part, the Israeli occupation launched a new aggression against the Gaza Strip, conducting extensive air raids against residential buildings in the Strip that claimed the lives of 313 Palestinians so far, including 20 children.
