Israeli security services have been monitoring Egyptian military movements on the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip in recent days, according to what was published by several Israeli news sites.

The Israeli newspaper "Maariv" said that the Egyptian army had set up concentration points near the Rafah crossing, to prepare for the possibility of the Israeli army entering the Rafah area, and thus preventing the flow of residents of the Gaza Strip into Sinai.

Meanwhile, the Israeli news website JDN said that the Egyptians are preparing for the Israeli army’s ground entry into Rafah, and have placed helicopters at the border crossing.

He added that in order to prevent the mass influx of Gaza residents into Egypt, the Egyptian army placed military points and stationing units along the Rafah crossing, in preparation for a clear Israeli ground entry into the large city in the south of the Gaza Strip, which has not yet been dealt with on the ground, as it was attacked by military aircraft. 

The site explained that the rumors that circulated in Gaza about the closure of the Rafah crossing with the wall built by the Egyptians caused great panic among the residents of the Strip, because a large amount of humanitarian aid comes through the crossing, and in addition to that, the residents of Gaza still dream and hope that they will be able to go to Egypt and escaping from the war in the Gaza Strip.

The Hebrew media explained that despite the denial of the Palestinian news channels that no wall had been erected at the crossing in preparation for its closure, the Lebanese Al-Mayadeen channel announced yesterday evening, Thursday, that the Egyptian army had placed barriers near the Rafah crossing, but had not closed it tightly.

Israeli media had revealed that Israeli demonstrators were trying to breach the border fence with Egypt.

The Israeli journalist and journalist for the Israeli newspaper Maariv, Ben Caspit, published a tweet today, Thursday, on his account on the X platform (formerly Twitter), a surprising story related to the unusual behavior of the protesters at the Kerem Shalom crossing - where they are trying to penetrate the border fence with Egypt and climb over it.
