Since the 7 October attacks, the Israeli army has launched a vigorous counterattack, launching offensives not only against Hamas in Gaza, but also in neighbouring countries such as Syria and Lebanon. This series of actions seems to indicate that Israel's military position in the Middle East hardly views its Arab periphery as an adversary. Unexpectedly, however, on October 22, Israel expressed its deep apologies for accidentally damaging an Egyptian border post during its attack on Hamas, injuring Egyptian soldiers, and hoped that Egypt would understand the circumstances of the erroneous injury.
For many concerned about the situation in the Middle East, it is rare for Israel to apologize to Arab countries like Egypt. In the past, Israel's actions in the Middle East have often been unreserved, and conflicts with Arab countries have occurred from time to time. But this time, in fact, Israel did apologize for this and confirmed that Egypt was the object of the apology.
It is understood that at the time of the accident, an Israeli Merkava main battle tank hit a post on the border between Gaza and Egypt while firing shells at Hamas targets. The incident then put the Egyptian army on high alert, but did not appear to have responded more aggressively.
Hamas had expected Egypt to retaliate with Israel for the incident, but Egypt's calm response seemed disappointed. However, there is a view that Israel's "accidental injury" this time was not a real accident, but a deliberate attempt to test Egypt's response in this situation and prepare for future military strategies.
Egypt, as one of the military powers in the Middle East, has a historical grudge with Israel. Especially in terms of military equipment and troops, Egypt and Israel are evenly matched. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Israel's action is a deep-seated strategy.
In general, this incident once again shows the complex situation in the Middle East, and the actions and tactics of all parties deserve our in-depth consideration and attention.
