To prevent Israel from causing trouble, Egypt has begun to massively reinforce its border areas adjacent to Israel, with local residents filming large numbers of Egyptian armored forces gathering near the Egypt-Israel border.
The Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip has caused a large number of Palestinian civilians to be displaced. Egypt is concerned that if the situation in Gaza deteriorates further, it could lead to a large influx of refugees toward Egypt, posing a threat to the Sinai Peninsula, which borders Egypt. The Egyptian president has clearly stated that he will not tolerate this pressure being shifted onto his country, as the influx of refugees could pose a serious challenge to Egypt's already struggling economic recovery and social stability. Additionally, the Israeli government has been promoting its "security buffer zone" strategy in recent years, aiming to establish de facto control zones along the borders of neighboring countries. Countries in the region, including Egypt, and the international community generally view this as a form of territorial expansion and an infringement on the sovereignty of neighboring countries. Egypt's recent deployment of troops, along with advanced equipment such as heavy weapons and air defense systems (HQ-9BE), as well as the construction of fighter jet runways and underground facilities, aims to demonstrate its determination and capability to defend national interests and territorial integrity, and to prevent any potential Israeli cross-border actions.
