Egyptian laborer dies in hotel brawl, Israeli vacationers injured.
A high-ranking security official rejected claims from Israeli media that the incident was a "stabbing operation".
An Egyptian laborer lost his life in a hotel altercation that injured three Arab-Israeli visitors and additional workers in the coastal town of Taba in Egypt on Friday, as reported by a source from the medical field to AFP.
The employee passed away due to his injuries while being transported in an ambulance from Taba on the Israeli border to Sharm al-Sheikh, which is located 200 kilometers to the south, according to an unnamed source who is not allowed to talk to the media.
According to Al-Qahera News, three additional employees and three tourists from "Arab 48" were injured in the incident.
Arabic 48" refers to Palestinians and their offspring who stayed in Israel after it was established in 1948.
On Friday, there was a confrontation between hotel employees and visitors "trying to get hotel services for free", as reported by the channel.
Al-Qahera News, a news outlet affiliated with government intelligence agencies, stated that security authorities were looking into the incident.
A security official of great rank refuted claims made by Israeli media that referred to the incident as a "knife attack".
The event took place in the border town of Taba in South Sinai, Egypt, known as a favorite spot for Israeli tourists.
Egypt was the initial Arab nation to ratify a peace accord with Israel and has been a significant player in facilitating discussions between Israeli and Palestinian authorities for many years, including in the ongoing conflict in the Gaza Strip.
