The Egyptian army has planned military attacks on specific targets in the Gaza Strip in the event that the security situation in the northern Sinai peninsula deteriorates, a senior Egyptian security official told the Ma'an news agency.

The source said that Egyptian reconnaissance planes had photographed the potential targets. According to intelligence sources, the Egyptian Army would attack from the air.

The plan to attack targets in Gaza is based on the Egyptian assessment that some of the attacks in the northern Sinai, especially in El Arish and in Rafah were carried out by armed Palestinians based in Gaza.

The security source said that the Egyptian Army is specifically targeting the extremist groups in Gaza who are regarded as hostile and it does not view the entire population there in this way.

The recent attack on the intelligence center in Rafah was carried out by the extremist Gaza groups, the source told Ma'an.

Last week Egypt opened the Rafah crossing, its main border with the Gaza Strip after it was closed........

I agree. Obama is saddened by the news. He got rebuked in Egypt when they threw out his buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood.

Looking at it from a different point of view, Egypt's enemy is Israel's enemy, times, they are a changin’.

Egypt won’t play as nice as Israel.

The undocumented Tryant, the DNC,
and their RINO toadies, are NOT going to like this.

Enemy of my enemy and all that. Let’s not get complacent. The Generals aren’t the ‘good guys’, but just the better bad guys.

[Pan_Yan]

This should result in an interesting UN condemnation.

[PghBaldy]

That is true.

“... The Generals aren’t the ‘good guys’, but just the better bad guys....”

you know, I might think that, but...who says they are bad??? MB???

There are an awful lot of Coptic's that support the army take over.

wouldn't we want the army to enforce the constitutional constraints on our leaders...??
(just a thought)

[kimtom]

only if the bad guys lose to much.....

I don’t think Gumby can do much about this though.

[mojito]

Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and Gaza is a Muslim Brotherhood stronghold, as the Israelis have been pointing out for years to the great annoyance of the 0-Muslims in the WH.

Something tells me Isreal will just stand by and watch the show.

[Jewbacca]

Damn Jews attacking the innocent Palistonians again.

Oh, wait.
