Officials from the Egyptian military junta today denied claims that Hamas had set up a number of ‘forward operating bases’ and rocket production lines inside the Sinai Peninsula, saying there was no truth to the allegation.
“No one can ever bring in military tools, or erect missile bases in Sinai. Egypt would not allow such a breach to its sovereignty,” insisted one of the Egyptian officials quoted in Al-Masry Al-Youm.
The claims came from Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post, which said Hamas had set up a number of bases in Sinai because they thought Israel wouldn’t attack Egypt.
Egyptian military forces have been deployed into the Sinai Peninsula in growing numbers since the junta took over, a move which came only with Israeli government permission. Israel would not allow tanks into the region.
Israel won't attack Egypt. Egypt can fight back. And will if Israel were to violate Egyptian sovereignty in any shape or form.
Israel kicked Egypt's ass in 67 and 73 and can do so yet again.
yeah I'd like to see them try it now
Something tells me (Lebanon 2006) the Israeli bark is worse than its bite.
Another war, another shovel of dirt on the grave of Israel.
The Sinai is sovereign Eyptian territory. The Zionist entity is looking for any excuse to start another military adventure in order to blur the illegal squatter dwellings in East Jerusalem, and the ongoing terror campaign by the IDF, and Shin Beit.

So Egypt had to ask Israeli permission to move troops into a region of Egypt?
