| Egypt working to create buffer zone around Gaza border. |
| 2014-02-16 |
| [Ynet] As part of new campaign to create buffer zone around Gaza, Egypt military forces launch Sinai operation, destroying tunnels, homes, and raiding villages serving terrorists, Palestinian news agency reports. According to the report, 10 tunnels and seven homes were destroyed on Saturday as part of the new plan to create the buffer zone, which would extend 500 meters in some places, the report claimed. According to Ma'an report which cited an Egyptian security source, the campaign began with a military operation in the border town of Rafah, where tunnels leading into Gaza were targeted. The security source added that the tunnels were destroyed and the homes they were located in were subsequently blown up. We were reluctant to go D9 on them, but they've never been very good neighbors and they keep us up all night with their incessant gun sex and digging. |

| #3 Pragmatically, iff EGYPT + JORDAN are NOT going to be giving up their sovereignty to the Gaza-WB to the Paleo PA, by definition they must establish such "buffer zones" in order to protect Israel + the PA from each other. Or at least vee the Paleos to make sure nothing happens from their nominal territory to make the Israelis mad. |
