 Egypt is beefing up security along its border with Gaza on Friday in the face of what Egyptian officials consider an “imminent” Israeli Military operation within the Gaza Strip, fearing a breach of the integrity of their borders, Israel online Haaretz reports. Egyptian officials, in a statement to Israel radio, said that Egypt is still trying to prevent the escalation of a full military operation in the region. They also said in the statement that representatives of Egyptian intelligence have approached senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar in Gaza to present him with alternatives and potential solutions to avoid a full scale military conflict between Hamas and Israel. Overnight Thursday and early Friday morning, Hamas and other reistance based factions fired “dozens” of mortar shells into Southern Israel, damaging one building. No injuries were reported. Haaretz reported that, “a "limited operation’ will begin within days that will combine an air attack with some ground operations against Hamas and other Gaza terror groups.” The Israeli cabinet has reportedly given the go ahead for the operation. |
