A helicopter crash in Egypt's Sinai desert involving a multi-national observer force killed seven people on Thursday – five Americans, a French national and a Czech citizen, AFP reported citing an Israeli source.

The source, who requested anonymity, said that the crash involved the Multi-national Force and Observers, a peacekeeping force which was co-founded by Israel in 1979 when it signed a peace deal with Egypt, and is not linked to the United Nations.
