Palestinian News Agency: Egyptian Alert In Sinai In Preparation For 'Advance to Jerusalem Day'
The Palestinian news agency Maan reports that the Egyptian army has raised its alert level and beefed up forces in northern Sinai and on the Gaza and Israel border, in preparation for "Advance to Jerusalem Day" set for May 14.
On that day, nationalist forces in Egypt, who are organizing via Facebook, are planning to set out from Al-Arish for Israel, via land and sea.
It was reported that Egypt is planning to close all entrances to northern and southern Sinai prior to the planned activity.
It should be noted that Facebook pages that call for a return of millions of Palestinian refugees to Israel on May 15 have gained hundreds of thousands of supporters.
