Is there any doubt as to why Israelis are incredibly sensitive to the securing of their own safety?
All they need to do to reaffirm the reasons why they are heavily focused on security issues, national defense etc., is to take a look around on the states bordering them. The Muslim Arabs can’t even live among themselves in peace and in prosperity, so there’s little hope of Israel achieving it with them either.
All-Out War South of Israeli-Sinai Border
The northern Sinai Peninsula south of the border with Israel is engulfed in an all-out war.
Egyptian F-16 warplanes attacked Islamic State (ISIS) and other jihadists’ positions for several hours Wednesday afternoon and killed more than 90 jihadists following massive ISIS attacks.
Most of the 70 Egyptian casualties were soldiers and policemen, and the death toll is not final.
Egypt retaliated immediately and fiercely, and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said:
Terrorism is knocking on our borders. ISIS is not only across from the Golan Heights, it is also in Egypt, across from Rafah…And we are together with Egypt and other states in the Middle East and the world in the struggle against extreme Islamic terror.
