The Israeli official said that five Americans were among the dead in the crash in Sinai.
The other victims were French and Czech.
The official said Israel initially dispatched a helicopter to rescue the wounded,
but called off the mission after the deaths were confirmed.
The Egyptian official said the UH-60 Black Hawk was on a reconnaissance mission
and crashed near the island of Tiran, apparently because of a technical failure.
The helicopter belonged to the Multinational Force and Observers,
an international force known as MFO that monitors the 40-year-old peace agreement between Israel and Egypt.
Thirteen countries contribute troops to the mission,
with the United States making up the largest contingent.
