The Israel Defense Force has moved tanks closer to Egypt following a cross-border attack into the Jewish state by bomb-laden terrorists who targeted defense contractor crews building a border fence.
Ynet News reported that armored units will supplement existing IDF forces in the region, even though Israeli tank maneuvers so close to Egypt's border is a violation of the peace treaty with Cairo.
The paper said the last time IDF bolstered its presence in the area was n August 2011, following a terror attack by the Islamic Jihad, which left nine Israelis dead.
The paper's chief military commentator, Ron Ben Yishai, "noted that several months ago, Israel and Egypt arrived at an agreement by which Cairo would be able to deploy 20 tanks near the border, to ward off attacks by Bedouins on Egyptian forces, despite the fact that such a move contradicts the peace treaty," Ynet reported.
Israeli commanders say the IDF's relationship with Egyptian military forces is good.
"The IDF has strong ties with the Egyptians forces, who are working tirelessly to thwart such incidents," Gaza Division Southern Brigade Commander Col. Tal Harmoni told reporters following Monday's attack.
"We are in a race against the clock to close the border," he said. "We have to seal off the border as soon as we can to prevent exactly these kinds of attacks."
Never forget the way Obama lept to take “credit” for Tahrir Square.
Meanwhile, "bomb laden terrorists targeting defense contractors" fall under the category of "just one of those things the Jews have to tolerate in order to have a peace treaty."
I know.

Don’t forget it.
The story is somewhat sideways, giving the impression that the fence being built is somehow going to protect Israel from the Egypts. The fence is the kind we need on our southern border and is designed to keep out central and north africans. Since Sudan broke up it seems half the population is just itching to get to Israel. The Israelis regularly report on just how many African job hunter/refugee types they have to round up and now they have a regular bus route in place to haul them back to Africa. Curiously the africans don’t want to go any place else-—they’ve all heard everyone else’s econmomy is in the toilet so a job in Israel seems like a natural career move to them——so where the bleep is Jimmah Cahter and why isn’t he building houses in Sudan to keep them there?
Does this mean I shouldn’t go see the pyramids this year?
