UPDATED 2:46 AM EST SUNDAY -- : Egypt MASSING TANKS on the Border of Gaza at Rafah

The Middle East woke up this morning to find Egypt is massing TANKS near the Rafah Border Crossing into Gaza.

It is not yet known  -- publicly -- if Egypt intends to enter Gaza.

More as I get it . . . . 

UPDATE 2:46 AM EST (SUNDAY) --

Aerial photographs show that Egypt has deployed hundreds of armored vehicles and dozens of tanks near Rafah, in violation of the Camp David Accords

The armored vehicles and tanks are apparently stationed in 'Zone C', a designation originating in the 1979 Camp David Accords, the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.

Below is an image of the ACTUAL Camp David Accords MAP showing the "Zones:"

According to the treaty, Egypt is only allowed to station 22,000 troops, tanks and artillery pieces in 'Zone A', 4,000 infantry troops in 'Zone B', and only Egyptian civilian police & UN forces are allowed in 'Zone C'.

By stationing regular troops and even main battle tanks in Zone C, Egypt continues its subtle re-militarization of the Sinai Peninsula, which has gone largely under the radar.

This comes in response to Israel's violation of the agreement after October 7th, when the IDF deployed tanks to 'Zone D', also known as the 'Philadelphi Axis'. According to the Camp David Accords, Israel is not allowed to have tanks in Zone D, but the war in Gaza has been used as a pretext to violate this clause.
