From two days ago Colonel Ahmed Ali, the Egyptian armed forces official spokesperson had to react quickly along with the morale department after that early EAF morning training that scared the shit out of many Egyptians in Cairo as it seems. He had to issue another FB statement denying rumors spread online that the air jets which rocked Cairo and other governorates' skies last Monday were Israeli jets !!
Ali had issued earlier a statement last Monday's afternoon about the jets announcing that they were part of a training following air defence forces. It seems that many people did not believe it and rumors swapped the Social media in Egypt claiming that Israel sent couple of jets breaking the sound barriers in our country as it had done in Lebanon and Gaza before !!
This rumor was enforced by a statement issued by "Officers for Revolution" FB page , the famous Pro-Revolutionary anonymous FB page claiming to be operated by a group of revolutionary officers from the Egyptian army. The page claimed that last Monday 8 IAF F15 Jets broke the sound barriers in our skies before returning back to Israel.
The army's statement says on the other hand that it is not true that 5 Israeli F35 had stormed our skies and broke the sound barriers. He also added Israel has not received yet the F35 jets which have not joined the US air forces also as it is still under development !! "Updated after the break"
Of course the "Officers for revolution" group was speaking about F15 Jets and not F35 Jets. Update : Accoridng to tweep Mohamed Kamar Al Zaman "Officers for revolution" did mention F35 Jets in their statement before altering it to F15 !!!" Ironically they claim that they got the info from Egyptian air defenses !!
With my all due respect to "Officers for Revolution" group and their concern , I got confirmation from friends who got relatives in different zones in Egypt that those Jets were Egyptians and actually they came from South to North , from Bani Sawif. I do not care if you believe me or not but I believe these sources more than Anonymous Facebook pages regardless of its affiliation and I think I have been careful in this in my blog and twitter .
It was actually ridiculous to find Shafik´s supporters sharing the statement of that FB page when they used to attack it and accused of treason and working for the MB against the army !!!
Logically Israel will not do such action now , Egypt is not Lebanon or Gaza and this action already breaks the Camp David accords or even appears as if it is the one that started the fight with Egypt. Historically Israel did not appear to start wars with Egypt even though in 1956 there were plans and agreement with UK and France and you check back history. In two of our wars Nasser gave a good opportunity for Israel to launch an attack in Egypt in the most stupid way.
BY the way some unknown European Website claiming that the Russians got tips that Egypt is preparing a full scale war .. with Ethiopia !!
