The Qatari newspaper "Al-Arabi Al-Jadid," known for publications that heighten tensions between Israel and Egypt, reported from a "senior Egyptian source" that Cairo "is anxiously monitoring the activities of armed militias cooperating with the IDF in the Gaza Strip." According to the source, Egyptian authorities "have noticed in recent days a significant increase in the amount of weapons these groups are receiving from Israel," claiming that the armaments are "qualitatively different" from what the militias had when they were first established.
