Israel apologises to Egypt

Israel has apologised to Egypt for the deaths of three Egyptian soldiers during a cross-border clash with Palestinian militants.

The apology came hours after Cairo threatened to withdraw its ambassador.

Israel has blamed Palestinians from Gaza who came through Egypt's Sinai desert for killing eight Israelis after they crossed the border.

The violence is testing Israel's landmark 1979 peace treaty with Egypt, already strained by the fall of long time autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak.
