Zionist enemy draws scenario of Zionist aggression against Egypt
Occupied Quds - Saba: A report by the Zionist enemy media revealed that the Zionist entity must prepare for the possibility of another war with Egypt under the title "Urgent preparation is required to confront the Egyptian military threat." The Hebrew news website "nziv" stated that despite the enormous difficulty and challenge, the Zionist entity must form a diplomatic, media, financial, and of course military and development front to focus and gather all necessary resources in order to find creative and rapid solutions for the process of building an accelerated and relevant force (effective even if it is asymmetric) that would provide a traditional response to the threat emerging from Egypt. The report explained that the parties concerned with the security and military apparatuses in the Zionist entity must first be motivated to reach satisfactory answers and appropriate solutions to urgent questions about: the size of the Egyptian forces currently available for war with the usurping entity, how much time Egypt needs to reach full recruitment and what are its capabilities? And how can the Zionist enemy army prepare for effective defense in advance against the threat within a realistic time frame? How might a surprise Egyptian attack on the entity look like in light of an analysis of the new capabilities and training of the Egyptian army over the past twenty years? The report stressed that the Zionist entity must prepare a political and military plan to deter Egypt under the name "Haroun's Awakening", by launching a large-scale preemptive attack. The media of the Zionist enemy considered the request of the Egyptian Defense Minister Abdel Majeed Saqr to declare the Third Field Army's combat readiness as "a collision course that Egypt is pursuing against the Zionist entity and the United States." The tasks of the Third Field Army are to secure the cities of the Suez Canal, North Sinai Governorate, and Egypt's borders adjacent to the Gaza Strip.
