Egypt has resumed gas exports to Israel, halted for nearly two months following crisis in the North African nation.

In a statement, Ampal-American Israel Corporation that supplies gas to Israel said supply resumed the previous day.

The company said initial supplies fall short of contractual quantities but would be increased to reach that level.

Israel has always feared supplies from Egypt could be disrupted by saboteurs or those hostile to the two countries' 1979 peace treaty.

Egypt's natural gas company said the fire was caused by a gas leak, but local officials said a bomb detonated inside the terminal. Supplies to Jordan also resumed on Tuesday
