Israel says it regrets the incident.

This is from “Maariv” in Israel you can translate with the prompts on Google and Bing.

The incident is under investigation.

Not much to investigate when you claim it's an accident.

That Maariv article really fleshes out the details:
An unusual incident at the Egyptian border: an IDF tank accidentally fired and hit an Egyptian position

An IDF tank accidentally fired a short time ago at an Egyptian position across the border. The army stated that "the incident is being investigated and the details are under review. The IDF regrets the incident."

Same thing was said two weeks ago. Tired of hearing that.

“when NATO accidentally bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade Yugoslavia.”

It wasn’t an accident. It was an attempt to destroy the pieces of a downed F-117 as well as a warning.

No it isn’t.

Accidents happen. Sometimes folks take things in their own hands. Stress, a lot of mobilized reservists (part time soldiers), the ease of a accident happening (live ammo loaded and physically deployed) don’t help the matter.

I just hope that this administration we have today (a bunch of clowns in expensive suits with ivy league degrees but no practical knowledge) don’t cause things to get worse.

Given their track record in Afghanistan and Ukraine, my concern is pretty high.

One more year! Just one more year of not causing WWIII to spread or a nuclear exchange and this @ssclown of a President with his court jesters will be gone, assuming the digital voting machines and mail in ballots don’t come up with 82,000,000 votes for him in 2024.
