EL-ARISH, EGYPT — An Egyptian security official on Saturday said border guards shot to death another Ethiopian who was trying to cross the border into Israel.

“Guards first fired a warning shot as the man tried to cross the barbed wire fence early Saturday. When he failed to stop, he was shot dead,” the Egyptian official said.

Two Ethiopians and an Eritrean were also injured in the incident and were arrested by Egyptian authorities.

In September, Egypt police shot an Ethiopian woman and arrested at least 14 people who were trying to enter Israel illegally.
