Egypt deploys tanks in Sinai, Israel alleges treaty violation

Egypt has deployed M60 Patton and M1A1 Abrams tanks in central Sinai near the Israeli border, Israeli media reported, citing sources. Tel Aviv warned Cairo, calling the buildup a breach of the 1979 peace treaty requiring Sinai's demilitarization. Egypt reportedly positioned forces near Rafah amid fears Israel may push Palestinians into Egypt. The move follows Israel's May 7 takeover of Gaza's Rafah Crossing, violating the Camp David Accords.
