The Egyptian army on Thursday said it denies accusations that it has been helping facilitate weapons shipments to Israel for its wars in Gaza and Lebanon.
The Reuters news agency pointed to reports that an Egyptian port received a shipment of explosives bound for an Israeli defence contractor.
"The Egyptian Armed Forces categorically deny what has been circulated on social media and suspicious accounts and what is being promoted about assisting Israel in its military operations in general and in detail," the army said in a statement.
The vessel-tracking website, Marine Traffic, showed the MV Kathrin, which reportedly carried a 150-metric-ton shipment of military-grade explosives, docked in Egypt's port at Alexandria on Monday.
