Egypt Fortifying Border with Israel
(Ynet News) Yoav Zitun - Egypt's army has been working to fortify its border with Israel in recent weeks, for the first time since the early 1980s, in response to intensified threats against it. Concrete guard posts are being constructed along the border, offering Egyptian troops protection against small-arms and anti-tank missiles. Dozens of Egyptian soldiers have been killed and injured in Sinai during exchanges of fire with al-Qaeda operatives or armed Bedouin smugglers.
