Default Egyptian troop movements

As far as I know the Egyptian army is moving there to crack down on Islamist groups operating across the border with Palestinian territories - after tsaid Islamists ambushed and killed 26 Egyptian troops not long ago.

Egypt couldnt be interested in a scuffle with Israel now - considering the amount of aid the US pours into it to keep it "stable". ( read .- keep the army powerful and in control of theeconomy and the nation)

Net loss for the Egyptian army would be to great. Lose the war ( I imply they would) and also loose their financial backing from the US.

I dont see it.

ALL in my humble opinion of course.
