A high ranking Israeli military delegation arrived in Cairo on Sept. 12 with a short visit, Assabeel newspaper quoted Egyptian sources as saying.
According to the sources, Israeli delegation plans to inform the Egyptian side about the investigation carried out by Israel into the killing of Egyptian soldiers in the boundary events between the two countries a few weeks ago.
"The sides will also discuss the possible steps which can be taken to provide security in boundary areas in the Sinai peninsula" the sources noted.
On August 19 an Egyptian army officer and four soldiers inside the Egyptian territory were killed and several others injured during clashes between Israeli security forces and armed groups inside the Israeli territories at the border sign No. 79, MENA said, quoting Egyptian Information Minister Osama Hikal.
Three other security men were injured by gunfire and were being moved to a hospital in the city of el-Arish in North Sinai, a security source in South Sinai said.
The Sinai forms a huge desert buffer zone between Egypt and Israel, which sealed an historic peace treaty in 1979 after fighting two wars in less than a decade.
Earlier gunmen killed seven people in southern Israel in attacks along Egypt's porous border, prompting Israel to chase infiltrators along the border and launch an air strike in the Gaza Strip that killed six Palestinians.
Israel said the attackers infiltrated from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip via Egypt's Sinai desert, despite stepped-up efforts by Egyptian security forces in recent days to rein in Palestinian and Islamist radicals.
