Egyptian military reinforcements arrive near Rafah crossing: Report

A new report from the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights (SFHR) says that Egypt's military has in recent days been deploying additional reinforcements near the Rafah crossing with Gaza.

The rights group published photos and videos showing tanks and armoured vehicles in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

SFHR further reported, citing eyewitnesses, that around 15 armoured vehicles passed through the town of Sheikh Zuweid, which is located about 15km (nine miles) from Rafah.

Eyewitnesses told the organisation that it was the largest mobilisation of Egyptian troops towards the Rafah crossing since Israel's war on Gaza began in October.
