Three Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed on Saturday in two separate exchanges of fire with a terrorist along the southern border with Egypt.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first incident, two soldiers, one of them female, were fatally shot while manning an observation post along the frontier.<\/span><\/p>\n

An IDF spokesman said that the soldiers had started a guard shift late Friday night and did not return radio calls the following morning. They were subsequently found dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hours later, during the search for the perpetrator, another soldier died in an exchange of fire within Israeli territory. A fourth IDF soldier was lightly wounded.<\/span><\/p>\n

The terrorist, identified as an Egyptian police officer, was killed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Israeli forces were searching the area on Saturday afternoon to rule out the possibility of additional attackers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The IDF, in conjunction with the Egyptian army, opened an investigation into the attacks. Maj. Gen. Eliezer Toledano, head of the Southern Command, was leading the probe.<\/span><\/p>\n
