As usual the Arabs are brain-dead and make up a conspiracy about Israel helping drug smugglers.
I will tell you what truly happened, in fact I have a friend that is an officer in the exact same unit involved, he was there at that time.
First of all, the drug smugglers are all Egyptians and Egypt doesn't do anything to stop them, it's always Israel that does.
Second of all, to debunk this stupid theory, the Egyptian terrorist brought a Quran with him, indicating an Islamic motive for terror, and entered through a gap in the Israeli border fence, into Israeli territory, by feet.
Third of all, this is a low quality unit called Bardelas (Cheetah) with both female and male soldiers, they are given very basic training and they have to guard the Egyptian border, which is a very low intensity border other than some occasional sand monkeys dealing drugs.
The terrorist arrived by night time, surprised a female and a male Israeli soldiers from close range, they didn't have time to react and he killed them.
A few hours later (which is a very long time, an unacceptably long time) an officer came to check what's with them because they didn't answer the radio checkups, and she found them dead.
From that moment, the higher officers got a drone up in the sky and they found someone they suspected was the terrorist, he fortified a position with rocks and it was impossible to identify whether he was armed or not.
Here's the stupid part: instead of acting like a smart human being and keeping distance from the terrorist, since he was posing no threat to anyone since he only had an AK47 in the middle of a desert and he was by foot, or at least arrive himself with his bulletproof car, the retarded division commander decided to bring an unarmoured jeep of a company commander to a distance of 200 meters away from the terrorist, the terrorist shot a burst at the car and he killed the company commander's passenger.
Then the team of another Brigadier came and killed the terrorist.
For all of the ones laughing at 3:1, remember Israel killed 40,000 Egyptians while Egypt killed 4,000 Israelis.
I knew a guy from Israel that told me Syrian and Egyptians have well trained soldiers, but they're poorly led by incompetent officers. He fought in Lebannon against Hezbollah and Gaza gainst Hamas too during his time with Golani brigade, so he's not hyping it up.
They're not well trained, they're stupid monkeys. Both the soldiers and their officers. We have a 10:1 kill ratio against them.
But sometimes monkeys get lucky.
It was not deliberate action. They just want to remove smugglers but smugglers took advantage of border and they hide around, but he crossed Israeli border in search of smugglers by mistake.
You can't cross the Israeli border by mistake, it's a huge fence, he went through a cut in the fence.
Egypt doesn't care about smugglers. Because the drugs don't enter Egypt, they enter Israel.
"Commander, they outnumber us three to one!"
This one Egyptian officer: " Then it is an even fight"
40,000 Egyptian soldiers died vs 4,000 Israeli soldiers lol
