Egypt Maintains Plans For Attack On Israel
Egypt has been the only Arab state that has maintained plans to attack Israel, a senior Israeli parliamentarian says. Yuval Steinitz, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said Egypt has been developing its military in an effort to ensure capability to attack Israel. Steinitz said Egypt's operational plans and exercises have focused on striking Israel. "Egypt is the only country in the region that is preparing for the possibility of a military confrontation with Israel," Steinitz said. Steinitz, whose committee obtains weekly briefings by Israel's military intelligence, said Egypt has developed or procured missiles that could strike Israeli military and civilian targets. He said the Egyptian targets include Israeli air force bases. Posted by: Fred 2005-05-19 |
