    JERUSALEM, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Israel's Interior Ministry has urged the Israelis remaining in Egypt's Dahab to go home as soon as possible, after the Egyptian resort town was hit by deadly explosions, the Jerusalem Post reported Tuesday.

    On Monday night, three explosions rocked the Red Sea resort of Dahab in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, killing at least 23 people and wounding 62 others, according to Egyptian police and medics.

    The Israeli Interior Ministry urged all Israelis visiting Sinai to return home, and the Israelis are told to be allowed to enter Israel via Taba border, even if they do not take passports with them.

    According to the ministry, those without passports would go through a brief interview before being granted immediate entry. Still, it was assessed that 1,700 Israelis remained in Egypt, as of Tuesday morning, said the paper.

    Border workers in Taba, which links Israel and Egypt, were instructed not to delay any Israeli who wants to return home, the Israelis should be questioned briefly and allowed into Israel immediately.

    Israel's ambassador in Cairo, Shalom Cohen, said the best choice Israeli tourists in Sinai should do now is "going home."

    Earlier, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said that four officials from the Israeli Embassy in Cairo had been dispatched to Dahab to identify if Israelis were among the dead and wounded.

    Later, the Israeli officials said that none of the people killed in the explosions was Israeli.

    Meanwhile, at Taba border, seven ambulances stood ready to cross into Egypt to treat the wounded as well as move any casualty to Josephthal Hospital in Eilat.

    Israel closed Taba crossing to vehicles entering Egypt shortly after the explosions occurred.

    Israeli interim Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to send his condolences, according to the report. Enditem
