The Egyptian armed forces on Thursday refuted claims circulating on social media that they were involved in supporting Israel’s military operations.
The army said in a post on the X platform that “there is no form of cooperation with Israel.”
The statement followed earlier remarks from Egypt’s Press Center, which, citing a high-level source, dismissed media reports alleging that Alexandria Port had received a shipment of military supplies for Israel.
The reports claimed that a German vessel, the MV Kathrin, had docked with eight containers holding approximately 150,000 kg of RDX explosives intended for Israeli Military Industries, part of Israel’s largest defense company, Elbit Systems.
The Press Center characterized the reports as false, stating they were spread by “anti-country voices” aiming to undermine Egypt’s historic support for the Palestinian people and their cause.
