Report: Israeli arrested in Egypt for crossing into Sinai illegally

Sat, 24 Apr 2010

Cairo (Earth Times) - Egyptian police arrested an Israeli on Saturday for illegally crossed into the Sinai Peninsula, security sources said.

Sagi Schori, 36, who was arrested after border guards saw him ride into Sinai on a motorbike, was being questioned, the al-Shorouk daily reported on its website.

Last month, an Israeli journalist was arrested as he tried to cross the border with a group of migrants. He reportedly told authorities he was working on a story about African migrants trying to cross into Israel illegally from Egypt.

Egypt is under mounting international pressure to secure its border with Israel and to stop the use of lethal force in trying to prevent migrants from crossing the border illegally.
