Avianphlu Posts: 3932 Incept: 2008-12-03 Ulster NY	http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/N.... Egypt reportedly sends 60 tanks, 400 armored vehicles to El Arish in biggest deployment since 1979. Residents of El Arish in northern Sinai reported Thursday that the Egyptian military has sent reinforcements of "unprecedented" size into the peninsula, according to the Egyptian Al Ahram newspaper. The forces reportedly include 60 tanks on 30 tank-transporters, 12 armored personnel carriers, 15 additional armored vehicles, more than 20 armored jeeps and 10 Military Police jeeps. According to the peace treaty with Israel, Egypt may not send armored forces into the Sinai without Israel's approval. It is not clear if such approval was granted. Al Ahram said that the forces are en route "to the mountainous and desert areas of Sinai" – description that seems to include just about all of Sinai – and to military positions on the road between El Arish and Rafiah. There was also a report that no less than 400 'Fahd' armored vehicles were sent into the Sinai. Last modified: 2012-08-09 14:27:51 by ulsterirish Reason: html 2012-08-09 14:27:12 Permalink

I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us! Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?" Last modified: 2012-08-09 14:46:27 by djloche 2012-08-09 14:45:13 Permalink
Eighty6thebs Posts: 4183 Incept: 2007-06-26 It's contained to sub-prime!	"60 tanks on 30 tank-transporters, 12 armored personnel carriers, 15 additional armored vehicles, more than 20 armored jeeps and 10 Military Police jeeps" Israel could take that out in a couple of hours. ---------- "Sounds to me like you guys a couple of bookies" - Billy Ray Valentine "No I am not scared, and neither should you be!" - Iraqi Information Minister 2012-08-09 14:49:57 Permalink

Will they read of us with sadness for the seeds that we let grow? 2012-08-09 14:55:27 Permalink
Jeffrey_thomason Posts: 7082 Incept: 2009-03-11	http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article..... Quote: The security cabinet on Thursday approved a request from Defense Minister Ehud Barak to allow Egypt to deploy attack helicopters in Sinai. ... Israel has welcomed Egypt's offensive while continuing to express worries about the deteriorating situation in Sinai, home to anti-Israel terrorists, Beduin tribes angered by neglect by Cairo, gun-runners, drug smugglers and al-Qaida sympathizers. Barak said Egypt was acting "to an extent and with a determination that I cannot previously recall". "Whether this ends with (their) regained control of Sinai and allows us not to worry as much as we have in the past few months, this I do not know," he told Israel Radio. ---------- When they turn the pages of history, when these days have passed long ago. Will they read of us with sadness for the seeds that we let grow? 2012-08-09 16:48:47 Permalink
