IDF deploys tanks near Egypt border, in violation of peace treaty
In an unusual move, the Israel Defense Forces deployed two
tanks to a site near the Egyptian border on Monday morning, following a
cross-border attack in which one Israeli was killed.
Deployment of tanks to the area is
prohibited according to Israel's peace agreements with Egypt. According
to the Camp David Accords, the area is to remain demilitarized, with
Israel prohibited from deploying tanks, artillery or anti-tank missiles.
The tanks were deployed after assailants launched an attack along the border.
Following the incident, the tanks were withdrawn from the area.
The IDF emphasized that it had no
plans to deploy additional tanks to the area, noting that the tanks were
sent as a result of the unusual incident. (1)
Very concerning. Hopefully the treaty holds and this just a footnote in the annuls of history books.
