The Israeli military says that it will discipline three officers in the case of a rare attack on the Egyptian border that killed three Israeli soldiers and exposed a series of mishaps earlier this month JERUSALEM -- The Israeli Military said Tuesday that it would discipline three officers over a rare attack on the Egyptian border that killed three Israeli soldiers and exposed a series of mishaps earlier this month.

The Egyptian policeman easily breached the security g...
