The two persons killed in the flash flood that inundated Sharm el-Sheikh and Ophira in southern Sinai yesterday were-identified today. One victim, 19-year-old Ruth Fishbein of Ramat HaSharon, a soldier, was drowned when a wall of water sweeping down from the hills destroyed the telephone exchange room at the army camp where she was on duty. The other victim, Tzvi-Ben-Nathan, 35, was electrocuted by a downed power line on the beach at Ophira. Two other persons, a young Bedouin, Ahmed Jouma, and a West German tourist are missing and were the objects of a helicopter search today.
