The source added that Egypt reserves the right to respond at the appropriate time.
The Israeli army said it was aware of a security incident near its Red Sea border with Egypt early Friday, following reports of an explosion in the city of Taba.
The Israeli army added, "We are aware that a security incident occurred, but it occurred outside our borders," Reuters reported.

Earlier, one of the Egyptian border watchtowers was accidentally hit by fragments of a shell from an Israeli tank.
Other sources said that an unknown source missile fell on the Egyptian city of Taba on the ambulance building and the administrative housing of Taba Hospital, causing damage to the building in which 6 people were injuried.
