ALBAWABA-  The Times of Israel has reported a significant development as Egypt deploys tanks and armored vehicles near the Rafah border crossing into Gaza, heightening tensions in the region. 

This military buildup follows a remarkable statement by the Egyptian Prime Minister, made during a visit to Sinai and the Rafah Crossing with Gaza, in which he unequivocally affirmed that millions of Egyptians stand ready to sacrifice in defense of their nation's sovereignty.

These actions come in response to the intensification of the Israeli occupation forces' barbaric aggression on Gaza, which has persisted for 25 days. 

This relentless assault has resulted in a staggering number of casualties, with thousands dead and tens of thousands injured, leaving the entire region in a state of crisis.

Egypt's deployment of military assets near the Gaza border underscores the gravity of the situation and the quest for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
