Israel regrets Egyptian deaths: defence minister
JERUSALEM, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Israel regrets the deaths of Egyptian security personnel during a clash with gunmen earlier this week, Defence Minister Ehud Barak said on Saturday after Egypt announced it was recalling its ambassador to Tel Aviv in protest.
Seeking to ease a growing crisis over the killings of the three Egyptians, Barak said he had instructed the Israeli army to hold a joint investigation with Egypt into the incident.
