After all, it is a nation with no cultural heritage and has been wandering for thousands of years, and it does not know the truth of what to do.
After several months of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it seems that it has now entered a brief phase of confrontation. Some time ago, the Israeli army's armored units began to withdraw from the battlefield in northern Gaza in turns, and Hamas has gradually resumed street patrols in northern Gaza, everything seems to be developing in the direction of peace, and people think that the war is about to end.
However, since 10 February, the Israeli army, having achieved its goal of weakening Hamas's military power, suddenly launched an attack on the Rafah area of the Palestinian Gaza Strip from three directions: land, sea and air. Everyone knows that the Rafah area is the last haven for Palestinian refugees after the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Rafah area, located in southern Palestine and adjacent to Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, previously had a population of less than 1 million, and since the Israeli army bombarded the northern part of Gaza, a large number of Palestinian refugees have fled to the Rafah area with their families. Today, the total population in Rafah District is 1.4 million.
The sudden influx of so many people in the already narrow Rafah area shows how difficult it is for the Palestinian people living in it. Even in the past, the roads were full of simple tents, and a tent was a family. Living in the Rafah area, where there is no water or food, they are barely able to survive on limited international humanitarian assistance.
But despite this, after all, after all, life was saved, and those Palestinians felt happy to be able to stay with their families.
However, the Israeli army, not sparing even this last harbor, launched an air attack on the Rafah area, and then sent tanks and armored units to attack the Rafah area, and once again staged the fighting in northern Gaza.
However, this time, Israel probably did not expect that Egypt, which is next door to the Rafah region, would be so excited. According to Middle Eastern media sources, after the Israeli army attacked in the Rafah area, the Egyptian army, especially the tank and armored units, has been mobilized and driven to the Rafah border area one after another.
So, there are two questions that are worth thinking about.
Question 1: How strong is Egypt's military and is it vulnerable to the Israeli army?
After reading this question, I expect that many friends will scoff at it, and then confidently say: "The Egyptian army is definitely vulnerable, having fought four wars in the Middle East, and with so many Arab countries helping, it can't beat the Israeli army." Nowadays, it is impossible to fight the Israeli army alone. ”
In fact, this is a misunderstanding, among the countries of the Middle East, the strength of the Egyptian army is really not to be underestimated.
Although the Arab countries have lost all four wars in the Middle East, you will find that each time the Egyptian army is the main force. It can be seen that in the hearts of many Arab countries, Egypt has a feeling of being a regional big brother, and has won the respect of surrounding countries by virtue of its strength.
The Egyptian army is really strong, with more than 700,000 troops in active service, including 400,000 in the army and 30,000 in the air force. In terms of fighters, Egypt has more than 1,000 advanced fighters of various types. In terms of army tanks and armored vehicles, Egypt alone has more than 4,400 main battle tanks.
If Egypt really ends up fighting the Israeli army face to face, then the Egyptian army's more than 4,400 tanks will form a torrent of steel and attack Israel from the Gaza Strip.
You must know that in the Fourth Middle East War, the Egyptian army successfully broke through the positions of the Israeli army on the east bank of Suez, and almost reached the destruction of Israel. Only in the end, because Israel took the initiative to retreat to the occupied Sinai Peninsula, coupled with the intervention and assistance of the US military, the Egyptian army stopped in moderation and did not desperately.
Question 2: Why didn't the Egyptian army intervene before the Tarafah area was ready to intervene?
The Sinai Peninsula of Egypt is adjacent to the Rafah area of Palestine by a wall, and the entire Gaza region is separated from the northern Gaza area. Therefore, when the Israeli army attacked the northern part of Gaza, Egypt had no worries, believing that the Israeli army would not attack the fighters.
However, now that the Israeli army suddenly attacked the Rafah area, and some of the shells almost fell into Egyptian territory, Egypt really got nervous, mobilized its army, drove tanks to the Rafah border area, and prepared to fight the Israeli army.
Over the years, Egyptians have also been well aware that Israel, which has always been very greedy for territory, is still haunted by the Sinai Peninsula, which was forced to return to Egypt. Therefore, this time, the Egyptian army immediately responded by mobilizing a large tank army to the Rafah border area to prevent the Israeli army's attack.
The next thing is to see the attitude of the Israeli army, as long as the Egyptian border is violated, presumably the Egyptian army will join the army against Israel, and the Israeli army will definitely be defeated.
I hope that this time, Egypt will be tough and will not be able to unite anymore!
