Were the Arab attackers against IDF Forces in Sinai from Gaza or Egypt proper and does it matter? In Israel's defense, reports indicated the attackers were dressed in Egyptian Army uniforms which probably led to the warplane mistake but we fear this could become a real crisis in the area because a limited military conflict benefits all sides. ... "Diplomats scrambled to avert a crisis in relations between Egypt and Israel on Saturday, and the Israeli government issued a rare statement of regret for the killing of three Egyptian security officers by an Israeli warplane." – NY Times
Dominant Social Theme: It was all a mistake on the air attack and Israel needs to again control Gaza and close the border with Egypt or there will be more terrorist attacks.
Free-Market Analysis: The long-term occupation of Palestine and the blockade of Gaza does not contribute to the security of Israel but instead creates an environment of perpetual conflict and now another full-scale military conflict may be about to unfold. First, Israel needs to secure Gaza and move against the Hezbollah rocket forces in Southern Lebanon before joining NATO against Syria and launching an attack against the Iranian nuclear sites. The new Egyptian army government needs to appear tough against Israel and the pipeline that Egyptian nationalists continue to blow-up week after week that supplies Israel with oil.
A brief conflict would allow Egypt to close the pipeline permanently and win support at home while Israel took care of business with Gaza. Both sides appear to benefit.
