Egypt Issues Warning to Israel: Hands Off Gaza-Egypt Border

Egypt has warned Israel against carrying out military operations along the Philadelphi Corridor, a narrow strip of land along the Gaza Strip-Egypt border. Egypt rejected Israel's apology for damage to an Egyptian Army guard post, stating that it was a deliberate provocation. Cairo may take diplomatic steps to limit the relationship between the two countries. Egypt also conveyed messages to Hamas, promising not to condemn the organization or label it as a terrorist group.
