Four Israeli diplomats returned to Egypt Monday to resume work, about 10 days after all staff left following an attack on the embassy in Cairo, dpa reported.

Airport sources said the diplomats, including the consul and the chief of security, left the Cairo airport amid tight security.

It was not clear whether they will resume work from the embassy or head to a new location, sources added.

Israeli radio stations said on Sunday that the diplomats will work at an alternative location. On September 9, a group of Egyptians stormed the embassy, angered over the August killing of six Egyptian soldiers in Sinai during an Israeli airstrike.

Relations between Egypt and Israel have recently suffered their worst crisis since former Egyptian president Hosny Mubarak was unseated in a popular revolt in February.
