Israeli intelligence warnings from the Egyptian army: Egypt is investing in building strategic tunnels and strengthening its military power against IsraelEgypt has around 40,000 troops deployed in the Egyptian Sinai peninsula. And unclear in what kind of formation. Some are at border near Gaza. Others in anti-terror missions across the peninsula.
They cannot deploy in traditional military formation due to peace treaty.
So what matters is what kind of infrastructure they have prepared to rapidly deploy across Suez Canal into Sinai. And if they have military storage sites in Sinai and what kind of fuel reserves they're stockpiling there.
Bridges, highways, tank transporters, etc.... Egypt is at a big disadvantage if Israel wages a offensive war or tries to carry out a ethnic cleansing of Gaza into Sinai. That's where other neighboring states come into play to distract Israel and spread them thin.
In a defensive war Egypt will be able to hold its own.
