Israel army says could launch preemptive Sinai strikes

An Israeli official familiar with the situation in Sinai would not address Elcabets’s remarks, but told AFP that “Israel is coordinated with states in the region on matters pertaining to the war on terror and terror groups.”

 

According to the official, following the attacks on Egyptian forces in Sinai, “Israel agreed to Egypt’s request to allow more Egyptian forces and devices into Sinai, and provided intelligence to Egypt.”

 

The amount of Egyptian military forces allowed in Sinai is stipulated in the 1979 peace treaty with Israel that led to its withdrawal from the peninsula.
