According to a report on Voice of Israel government-sponsored radio, Egypt has moved anti-aircraft missiles into the Sinai Peninsula.

The radio station's Arab affairs analyst, Eran Zinger, reported Saturday that Egypt has deployed both anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles near Israel’s border in the Egyptian Sinai, without Israel’s permission.

Such equipment is prohibited in Sinai by the Egypt-Israel peace treaty. “Egypt is trying to change the situation in Sinai,” Zinger said.

This is only to be used in a doomsday scenario. Nobody wants 20 million Egyptians to drown but if they threaten Israel with extinction, they're going to have to learn how to tread water without pita bread in hand...

Israel probably doesn’t want to open two fronts at once: Iran and Egypt. But may not have a choice.

Looks like Egypt is gonna get their AZeS whooped again!

It might not be so easy this time...mainly because Iran just might use such a situation as an excuse to jump in themselves in anticipation of an attack by Israel.
